Sigma Tau Delta
Sigma Tau Delta
Sigma Tau Delta, an international English honor society, recognizes students who excel in the study of English language and literature. Our goals include distinguishing undergraduate students for their accomplishments in literary endeavors, promoting interest in literature and the English language on our campuses and our surrounding communities, and fostering the discipline of English in all its aspects, including creative and critical writing.
Stay tuned for details on our next monthly meeting and upcoming events!
