Sigma Phi Alpha - Phi Chapter

The Phi Chapter of Sigma Phi Alpha held its Annual Meeting and Induction Ceremony on May 28, 2009. Members present (photo below - from left to right) were Meghan Obuchowski, Rebecca MacDonald, Leslie Hills, Jenice Churchill (new inductee), Angela Leighty (new inductee), Diane Peterson (not pictured) Tina Marshall, Villa Rakochy and Ellen Grimes (photographer). 

Vermont’s only Sigma Phi Alpha Honor Society, Phi Chapter, has a unique method to raise money for scholarships and education. Members become CPR instructors and offer American Heart Association CPR certification and re-certification courses for dental offices with all fees being returned to the Chapter. CPR is required in Vermont for relicensure every 2 years. Dental hygiene students at Vermont Technical College also are certified this way so that the fees paid directly benefit dental hygiene. 

The Chapter offers student awards up to $800.00 to assist with the expenses of the Northeast Regional Board Exam. This year, the Chapter was also able to provide financial sponsorship for the Vermont Dental Hygienists’ Association Annual Oral Health Conference.
