Faculty Membership
Faculty membership is available to faculty members and administrators at a college or university with a Sigma Tau Delta chapter, who have a degree in English. Induction fees for faculty members who serve as Chapter Advisors are waived. Read prerequisites and rights of faculty membership.
Alumni Membership
Sigma Tau Delta members are members for life, becoming alumni when they cease current enrollment as student or faculty members at a college or university with an active chapter. Read prerequisites and rights of alumni membership.
Who How much does it cost?
Each new member pays a one-time international induction fee of $60 for a lifetime membership. Local chapter dues may vary.
Fee Reductions
A limited number of $45 membership fee reductions are available for students who are Pell Grant eligible or are considered economically disadvantaged. Chapter Advisors and student members should first explore local options, such as using chapter funds or conducting fundraisers, to cover membership fees.

Creative Writing Club
Open to all students — no major, no class, no experience required.
This is a space for storytellers, poets, dreamers, and anyone who just loves playing with words. Whether you're into spoken word, fanfiction, screenplays, novels, or messy journal scribbles, you're welcome here. We write together. We share when we want to. We hype each other up.
Come for the prompts, the open mics, the writing jams, the weird ideas that turn into something beautiful. Stay for the community.
You don't need to be an English major. You don't need to have it all figured out. Just bring your voice. We'll help you use it.
