Membership Requirements
We realize that the rules dictated by the IEHS head office make it
particularly difficult for freshmen and those who have recently changed
majors to join. Nevertheless, we welcome any student interested in the
English language and its literature to join us in our activities and
meetings, especially those who are not yet qualified, but plan to be in
the future. Please do not let bureaucracy keep you from experiencing
Sigma Tau Delta!
In order to vote on group referendums, hold officer positions, or
declare your affiliation with our group, you must possess either an
