The TSU chapter of the English Honor Society (Sigma Tau Delta) will host its annual induction ceremony on April 25, at 2:30 p.m. in Humanities, room 203. The event celebrates the accomplishments and potential of its major's, says Dr. Samantha Morgan-Curtis.
Sigma Tau Delta has existed since 1924, and is the largest honor society for English majors and minors. The
organization has over 900 clubs within the United States and abroad. At
Tennessee State
University, the chapter for Sigma Tau Delta is called Alpha
Alpha Eta.

When considering joining any
organization the immediate question that comes to mind is what does it stand
for? Well, Sigma Tau Delta is about showing appreciation.
“It’s an organization to reward people
who are committed to written and verbal communication and the study of
literature,” says Morgan-Curtis. The benefits of joining Sigma Tau Delta include life time
membership, publications, closed scholarship opportunities, and opportunities
to present at the national conference. “You must be nominated by a professor so
it is not just about GPA. You have to have faculty say that you are of
character and scholarly potential.”
Other
requirements for membership include being an English major or minor, having 6
literature course credits beyond the first year, and maintaining a 3.0 GPA or
above average in your courses and as your cumulative GPA. There also is a one
time $55 induction fee in order to join Tennessee State University’s chapter Alpha
Alpha Eta.
There are several benefits to being
a part of Sigma Tau Delta as an English major and minor, so if you happen to be
invited to join the organization you should consider investing.
