 SIGMA TAU DELTA
Whittier is home to the Upsilon Sigma branch of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honorary society. Students who have completed two upper division English courses and who have a B average overall, with a B+ average in English, are eligible for membership. Eligible students are tapped in English classes at the beginning of each semester.

In addition to activities for its own membership, including an annual Putrid Poetry Reading, Sigma Tau Delta also organizes occasional events for the department or the student body as a whole. It also publishes The Literary Review each year. This publication features essays (including course papers from all fields), poetry, fiction, and art work by students at Whittier College. Submissions are usually solicited at the beginning of the spring semester; you do not need to be a member, or a student in an English class, in order to publish in The Literary Review.

The president of Sigma Tau Delta is Charlene Beal, and the secretary is Laura Nestler.  New members are Gabriella Simeonovna, Kaylee Hudgins, and Amber Hollingsworth.
