Alpha Iota Chi Chapter
Sigma
Tau Delta is the International English Honor Society. A member of the
Association of College Honor Societies, it was founded in 1924 at Dakota
Wesleyan University. The Society strives to:
- Confer distinction for high achievement in English
language and literature in undergraduate, graduate, and professional
studies;
- Provide, through its local chapters, cultural
stimulation on college campuses and promote interest in literature and
the English language in surrounding communities;
- Foster all aspects of the discipline of English,
including literature, language, and writing;
- Promote exemplary character and good fellowship among
its members;
- Exhibit high standards of academic excellence; and
- Serve society by fostering literacy.
With over 750 active chapters located in Europe, the
Caribbean, and the United States, there are more than 1,000 faculty sponsors,
and approximately 8,500 members inducted annually. Sigma Tau Delta's central
purpose is to confer distinction upon students of the English language and
literature in undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies. Sigma Tau
Delta also recognizes the accomplishments of professional writers who have
contributed to the fields of language and literature.
Sigma Tau Delta is an International English Honors Society,
thus membership in the official organization has certain specific requirements;
however, at Aurora University we insist upon an open membership policy, thus
our chapter is open to anyone, regardless of major or other criteria. So, look
around and get involved! Help us make the magic happen.
