Sigma Theta Tau International, the International Nursing Honor Society was established in 1922. It promotes health and illness prevention through the advancement of nursing leadership, scholarship, and administration. The society offers scholarships to graduate and undergraduate nursing students and lends partial support for alumni and faculty research and continuing education. The society has more than 135,000 active members with roughly 540 chapters in more than 100 countries.

The Beta Pi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau was chartered April 20, 1974. Over a nearly 50 year history, Beta Pi has honored undergraduate and graduate students at FSU’s College of Nursing’s commencement ceremonies for clinical and research excellence.
