Welcome to the Sigma Tau Delta website

Sigma Tau Delta (ΣTΔ) works to cultivate the next generation of literary scholars, educators, writers, and leaders through transformative undergraduate and graduate experiences. Founded in 1924, and with more than 35,000 members worldwide, ΣTΔ creates unparalleled opportunities for intellectual growth through academic conferences; publication opportunities; awards, grants, and scholarships; and mentorship networks that connect students with established professionals in English studies. Our members develop critical thinking, research skills, and creative expression through literary scholarship projects, creative writing workshops, and community literacy initiatives. The program’s comprehensive approach to professional development—including career guidance, graduate school preparation, community service, internships, and networking opportunities—has meant that our students become prize-winning writers, respected publishers, and excellent educators.
