In 1922, six nurses founded Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, today known as Sigma, at what is now the Indiana University School of Nursing in Indianapolis, Indiana. The name stems from Greek words storgé, thárros, and timé, meaning love, courage, and honor. Sigma is an international community of nurses, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, teaching, learning, and service through the cultivation of communities of practice, education, and research. Their mission is to develop nurse leaders anywhere to improve healthcare everywhere.
