Sigma History
Six nurses founded Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, today known as Sigma, in 1922 at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses─now the Indiana University School of Nursing─in Indianapolis. The founders chose the name from the Greek words storgé, tharsos and timé, which mean love, courage and honor. Sigma was incorporated in 1985 and is a nonprofit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax status in the United States.
