Welcome to your KSU Mu Phi at Large Chapter website! 





At Large Locations
Mu Phi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International was chartered in April 1992. The nursing faculty knew that an honor society would help foster high professional standards, recognize superior achievement and leadership qualities, encourage creative work and strengthen the commitment to the ideals and purpose of the nursing profession. Since that time, the university, the community, and the surrounding area have undergone many changes. To adapt to these changes, Mu Phi has now become Mu Phi at Large, a chapter comprised of, not only the academic setting of Kennesaw State University, but also the WellStar Health System clinical practice settings of Atlanta Medical Center, Cobb Hospital, Douglas Hospital, Kennestone Hospital, and Paulding Hospital. The members of Mu Phi at Large look forward to this expanded relationship with the community and the health system that serves its members.
