Sigma Tau Delta
International English Honor Society

About

Northwest's is one of more than 700 active chapters of Sigma Tau Delta around the world. Members at Northwest have the opportunity to share their love of literature and rhetoric, composition and critical theory, creative writing and English education with like-minded peers. Being a member of the organization enriches the study of English beyond the in-classroom experience. Members have also found Sigma Tau Delta to be a useful forum for career guidance, a place to be further recognized for their accomplishments and, along the way, have a little fun. Members may apply, or in some cases instantly qualify, for one of the Society's awards and scholarships.

Membership

Membership is open to all English majors and minors, including writing minors. Applications for membership are accepted in the fall of each academic year. For application information, please contact Ashley Davis-Black. Applications may also be picked up at the beginning of the fall term in Colden Hall 2890.

Convention

Each spring, Northwest's chapter sends a student contingent to the national Sigma Tau Delta convention. The annual convention gives members from around the globe the chance to gather in one place, share their ideas, get recognition for their achievements and to participate in a meeting of an international society. At Northwest, we view the convention as a great time to meet other students, faculty and writers from around the world, to forge new friendships, to present student scholarship and creative works and to further our discussions of English language and literature. Students are able to do all this while taking in the scenery of the event's host city.

Some Sigma Tau Delta convention presentations by Northwest students have included:

Interested in presenting scholarship at the convention? Questions about attending the convention can be directed to Ashley Davis-Black.
