What is Sigma Tau Delta?
Sigma Tau Delta is an international honor society for English majors and minors. The society seeks to recognize students who excel in their literary studies and serves both to applaud what students have achieved and enrich their experience of literary study through local and national events.

What does Sigma Tau Delta do?
The West Georgia Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta sponsors a number of activities each year. Specific events depend on the interests of the current membership but in the past have included theater trips, a literary costume party at Halloween, informal gatherings at local restaurants, student research colloquia, career discussions and much more. These activities are only a starting point: marathon readings, literary film nights, literary debates...it all depends on what students think would make their time as English majors more interesting and rewarding.
