Publications and Newsletters 

Sigma Tau Delta publishes three national publications: two literary journals, The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle and The Sigma Tau Delta Review, and an annual newsletter, The Sigma Tau Delta Newsletter. The Society also publishes six regional newsletters and eNews.

Distribution of Publications for New Members

Members (within the U.S. and its territories) receive a one-year subscription to Sigma Tau Delta publications with their induction fee: one fall newsletter, and two journals, The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle and The Sigma Tau Delta Review (mailed in the spring). New members will receive their first publication the semester after they join (excluding the summer semester). For example, if they join in the spring, they will receive the newsletter the following fall semester and in the next semester after that they will receive the journals. All publications are mailed in bulk to the chapter sponsor for distribution to members.

International chapters receive two copies of Sigma Tau Delta publications; additional copies are available at current international shipping rates.
