About Us

The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (Sigma) was founded in 1922 at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses, which is now the Indiana University School of Nursing in the United States. The name of Sigma Theta Tau came from the initials of the Greek words Storgé, Tharsos, and Timé, which mean love, courage and honor. Pi Iota Chapter (PIC) of Sigma is the first and only chapter of Sigma in Hong Kong established on 18 Mar 2000, at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. After 21 years, Pi Iota At-large Chapter (PIAC) of Sigma was established on 2 October 2021 by first uniting five local institutions with schools of nursing, including Hong Kong Baptist University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, The University of Hong Kong, and Tung Wah College.
