Celebrating 90 Years: 1922-2012
The Honor Society of Nursing,
Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI)
was founded 5 October 1922.

Discover ways to celebrate STTI's 90th anniversary!

Celebrating 90 years of nursing excellence

In 1922, six nursing students founded Sigma Theta Tau at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses. The Greek letters they chose stood for “storgé,” “tharsos” and “timé”: love, courage and honor. Ninety years later, the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) serves 130,000 active members in more than 85 countries and the nursing profession at large.

This year, STTI members will celebrate through a variety of activities that are based on President Suzanne Prevost's call to action: Give Back to Move Forward.

Watch this page for ideas and more information.
