How do I become a dual member with another chapter?
Dual members maintain membership in their initiating chapter by continuing to
pay chapter dues and paying the chapter dues of a second or even additional chapters.
Dual members will only pay one international membership fee of US $55.
NOTE: If you are already a Sigma Theta Tau member at another university’s
chapter, you can hold dual membership with your original chapter and CSUF’s
Nursing Honor Society. If membership is current, you will be inducted as a charter
member of CSUF’s Induction into Sigma Theta Tau this spring. If you want to
obtain dual membership, you may do so now.
Contact the Nursing Honor Society at
Nursinghs@fullerton.edu for a Membership Form. Those who are not already a member
through another university must be nominated according to above criteria. Nominations
are sent in March to your address of record with the University’s Admission
and Records Department. See http://www.nursingsociety.org for above information
