Welcome to Sigma Theta Tau, Beta Delta at-Large Chapter!

On behalf of myself and our current and newly elected Board members, I would like to welcome you to the Beta Delta at-Large chapter, representing the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City University, the University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma Baptist University, Southern Nazarene University, Northwestern Oklahoma State University, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I am excited to take over the reins as President and look forward to working with all of you in the coming years.

Whether you are a current member or someone who is considering membership, we welcome you. The opportunities to become involved, to grow and develop as leaders, and to contribute to the nursing profession are virtually endless.

Sigma has been an excellent source of growth and support for me as a graduate student, nurse leader, and nurse faculty! This chapter has provided a multitude of networking opportunities and friendships that I treasure. I have had the pleasure of attending conventions and conferences to represent our chapter and learn more about Sigma and its role in promoting nursing around the globe. Serving on different committees and holding officer positions has provided invaluable opportunities for leadership and delegation.

Our chapter, along with the Sigma organization, is here to afford you some opportunities for involvement within the nursing community at the local, state, and global levels. Your membership will be what you choose to make of it. Everyone's experience is different depending on your goals and your involvement. Please get involved with our chapter from the beginning.

Dr. Sandra C. Garmon Bibb, DNSc, RN, FFNMRCSI, FAAN, our International President, states, "We are all leaders, and we must represent our unique selves and collective change in our shared world.” Dr. Bibb challenges us to represent the best of our individuality and shared contributions to our profession in three ways:

  1. Reflect: Communicating a Caring Culture
  2. Respect: Cultivating Cultural Humility
  3. Respond: Championing Contemporary Practice

If you are a current member looking for ways to become connected, please feel free to contact me (see below). If you are a non-member and already an RN wishing to join Sigma, consider joining as a Nurse Leader. If you are a student who has been invited to Sigma, I encourage you to join Sigma. To learn more about Sigma’s Call to Action, please read the attached document: Sigma Call to Action 2023-2025.

Whether you are a member or non-member, come to our next meeting or event and get to know us. We look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

Monica L. Bowie, DNP, RN
