There are two categories of membership: active and associate.

Active membership is available, in general, to students with a minimum of a B or equivalent average in English, who rank at least in the highest thirty-five percent of their class in general scholarship, and who have completed at least three semesters or five quarters of college work. (Local chapters may raise, but not lower, these criteria.) Full-time faculty members who sponsor a chapter are also eligible. (Specific details are listed in the Society's constitution.)

Associate membership is available to currently enrolled students, undergraduate or graduate, who have the requisite academic background but who are not majoring or minoring in English. In addition, non-sponsoring faculty members with a degree in English may be associate members.

Please specify whether you are interested in active or associate membership when contacting Sigma Tau Delta.

How much does it cost?

Local chapter dues may vary, but each new member pays a one-time international initiation fee of $37.
