Sigma Tau Delta

Sigma Tau Delta is the international English honor society that was founded in 1924 at Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, South Dakota. The organization aims to promote the study and appreciation of literature and the English language. It provides a platform for students to engage in literary activities, foster a love for reading and writing, and encourage academic excellence in English studies. Sigma Tau Delta also emphasizes the importance of community service and leadership among its members, who are typically undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in English and related fields.

Over the years, Sigma Tau Delta has grown to include over 900 chapters across the United States and abroad, making it one of the largest honor societies in the country. The society hosts various events, including an annual convention where members can present their research, share their creative works, and connect with fellow literature enthusiasts. Additionally, Sigma Tau Delta offers scholarships and awards to recognize outstanding achievements in English studies, further supporting its mission to promote literary scholarship and creativity.
