[Students] FW: Join Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society

[Kim Jefferies]

Greetings Students!

I hope that your first weeks of classes have been enlightening and
productive.  I also hope that in addition to your studies, you have been
exploring the many extracurricular opportunities available on our
campus.  If you are an English major at the undergraduate or the
graduate level, I would like to invite you to apply for membership in
Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society.  Acceptance to
Sigma Tau Delta is a marker of your academic achievement in the area of
literature and languages.  Membership carries a number of benefits
designed to assist you in cultivating your scholarly and professional
interests.

Requirements for membership:

*       Candidates for undergraduate membership must have completed a
minimum of two English language or literature courses beyond the
freshman English requirements and must have a minimum B average in
English and in general scholarship.  

*       Candidates for graduate membership must be enrolled in a
graduate program in English, or one of its specializations, have
completed six semester hours of graduate work or the equivalent, and
have a minimum grade point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.

Candidates accepted to Sigma Tau Delta will receive a certificate and a
pin during an induction ceremony in November.  The Texas A&M
University-Commerce Sigma Tau Delta chapter, Upsilon Beta, hosts a
number of meetings and events throughout the year.  Here is a partial
list of some more of the benefits of membership:

*	Members can compete for several $1000 to $4000 scholarships and
awards

publishing companies

Sigma Tau Delta International Convention.  The 2012 convention will be
