Membership includes current undergraduate nursing students and recent graduates. The undergraduate chapter works closely with the graduate chapter for programs projects, and fundraising. In 2011, Marisol Sigala, a junior at Texas Christian University received an undergraduate scholarship from the Lambda Eta Chapter of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. during its annual Glenda Daniels’ Scholarship and Awards Banquet.
