Nine Howard University students were led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle into a sisterhood in 1908. Four years later, Nellie Quander and her gallant and visionary associates contributed the added dimension of national organization and perpetual membership. These women and those who have come after them, the never-ending stream of eternally young, hopeful, enthusiastic women, need to be remembered.
