Typically, as an Honor Society, one can become a member in one of two ways:
A. Academic
- WMU Baccalaureate program: upper 35% of class and GPA ≥ 3.0 (senior nursing level)
- WMU Master program: GPA ≥ 3.5
B. Professional
- Community members who have demonstrated achievement in the areas of nursing education, practice, research, administration or publication. Requirements also include current RN licensure, and completion of a baccalaureate degree or higher in nursing or another field.
- Current STTI member: Can be a member of multiple chapters or honor societies
The tradition of honor societies is that individuals who qualify and who demonstrate leadership potential are recommended by current society members for an invitation to join. An invitation should be received with pride.
