Gamma Omicron At-Large Chapter

Welcome to the website for the Gamma Omicron Chapter at large of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. Gamma Omicron Chapter was chartered at the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing on April 14, 1978, with Alpha Chapter, Indiana University, as the sponsoring chapter. The charter members consisted of 76 new members and 13 transfer members. Over the past 25 years, 1348 members have been inducted into the chapter.
