Sigma Tau Delta is the International English Honor Society. Its purpose is to brevet distinction upon undergraduates, graduates, and scholars in academia as well as upon professional writers who have recognized accomplishments in linguistic or literary realms of the English language.
Through the chartering of chapters on the campuses of more than four hundred colleges and universities throughout the United States and abroad, Sigma Tau Delta affords exceptional students in the field of English opportunities for furthering culture, for formulating ethical principles, for developing skills in creative and critical writing, and for fostering a spirit of fellowship.
Student members of Sigma Tau Delta may gain prestige through publication in The Rectangle and may achieve international recognition through annual awards and scholarships. Association with eminent persons in the profession of English is accorded students at the regional conventions and at the biennial international convention.
