The College of Saint Rose English Department is home to the Beta Phi Chapter of the international English honor society, Sigma Tau Delta. The purpose of the society is to recognize the accomplishments of undergraduates, graduates, and scholars in the academy and professional writers who have distinguished themselves in the study and creation of literature and linguistics in the English language. Sigma Tau Delta affords exceptional students in the field of English an opportunity for furthering culture, for formulating ethical principles, for developing skills in creative and critical writing, and for fostering a spirit of collegiality. Membership in the Society also provides scholarship and internship opportunities. The Saint Rose chapter has recently won national acclaim for its activities. English and English 7-12 majors who have completed 18 credits of English at Saint Rose and have a GPA of 3.5 or above, and English graduate students who have completed 30 credit hours or are in the last semester of their degree program and who have GPA of 3.75 or higher, are invited to join the Honor Society during the Spring semester.
