Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) is a nursing honor society founded in 1922 and consists of more than 135,000 active members across more than 90 countries whose mission is to “support the learning, knowledge and professional development of nurses committed to making a difference in health worldwide.” From its inception, STTI has valued excellence and scholarship; it was the first U.S. organization to fund nursing research.

Sigma Theta Tau International consists of more than 500 chapters. The Hawaii chapter, Gamma Psi-At-Large Chapter (The Chapter), held its first induction ceremony in April 1992 and continues with this tradition.
