Sigma Tau Delta is the international English honor society, which strives to confer distinction for high achievement in English language and literature. One of the largest members of the Association of College Honor Societies, Sigma Tau Delta has over 750 active chapters, more than 1,000 faculty sponsors, and inducts approximately 8,500 members annually. Our members have the opportunity to be recognized for their outstanding achievements, enrich their education, help them make career choices, and advance their careers.
North Central's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta participates in scholarship opportunities, community readings, writing workshops, the national convention and other local activities. We whole-heartedly support the Sigma Tau Delta motto: Truth, Sincerity, & Design.
