Humanities & Teacher Education

Membership for students and faculty is a recognition of excellence in scholarship and creativity.  The Pepperdine chapter sponsors poetry and literary readings and engages in community volunteer activities.  Students have the opportunity to submit creative writing and essays to the society's two journals.

One of the largest members of the Association of College Honor Societies, Sigma Tau Delta has over 600 active chapters, more than 900 faculty sponsors, and inducts approximately 7,000 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.
