About Sigma Tau Delta's Mu Omicron Chapter at the University of Scranton

Sigma Tau Delta was established in 1924 at Dakota Wesleyan University in order to

1. confer distinction for high achievement in English language and literature studies in undergraduate, graduate, and professional work
2. to promote interest in literature and the English language on local campuses and their surrounding communities, and
3. to foster the discipline of English in all aspects, including creative and critical writing

The Mu Omicron chapter was installed at The University of Scranton in 1980. We have an active chapter. The chapter has sponsored activities ranging from faculty-student softball games to a literary magazine at the Howard Gardner School. This year we are revising the advising manual created by the Mu Omicron Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta for English and Theatre majors.  Our successful faculty led film and discussion series continues, with great reviews by all who participate.  Membership in this organization thus opens a number of possibilities for involvement on our campus and our community. Furthermore, members may also submit their written work to the Rectangle, and to the Sigma Tau Delta Review the society’s international publications. They may apply for scholarships, awards, grants and internships, present work at the annual international convention, and, most especially, they will be part of a community which values literature. We hope you will take the opportunity to apply.
