Membership applications for the national Sigma Tau Delta honors society are accepted throughout the year. A national membership means that you can claim this honors society on your graduate and job applications; you will be eligible for special scholarships and awards; you can participate in the national conference; you will receive special recognition at the English Department commencement ceremony; and you will receive a national honors certificate and pin. Both official members and nonmembers are welcome to participate in all local chapter events, however, which are run by the student-centered part of the organization.

Please note: if you want to be eligible for national scholarships or awards or the national Sigma Tau Delta Conference, you must have your application submitted by September 30 of that academic year.

Once processed, memberships cannot be refunded.

• An initiation fee of $37 (U.S.); make checks to the Faculty Advisor (Quentin Bailey)
