Sigma Tau Delta New Initiates

Congratulations to our new Sigma Tau Delta members! Initiation was held at Dr. Francis’s house last Sunday and included a lovely potluck dinner and some light poetry for dessert.

Our three initiates:

Robert Leonard, Sophomore Creative Writing major

In addition to initiation, guests also talked about upcoming events in the honors society, like the Ervene Gulley Faculty Lecture Series on November 20th. Their main speaker, Dr. Stuart, is focusing on the topic “Inheritance.” Be on the lookout for more info when we get into November.
The whole of Sigma Tau Delta is also hosting their international convention in Las Vegas next spring, and submissions for that event are open until October 28th.

The night was filled with laughter and fun, and was a hugely successful initiation overall. We warmly welcome our newest members to the Theta Kappa chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, International English Honors Society, and wish the best for them in their future scholarly endeavors.
