dear sdt parents
why sigma delta tau?
how to start a new sdt chapter

Congratulations! We’re delighted to learn that your daughter has selected Sigma Delta Tau to enrich her college experience! Since membership in Sigma Delta Tau is a lifetime association, it will not only enhance her undergraduate years on campus, but will also contribute to her happiness as an alumna. Friendships and networking opportunities will extend throughout your daughter’s lifetime!

The purpose of our sorority is diverse and far reaching: to provide an extended family relationship – the home away from home - on campus, to furnish guidance for moral and ethical growth, to stimulate intellectual vitality and academic excellence and to extend opportunities for leadership, community and philanthropic endeavors and social activities.

Sigma Delta Tau offers many diverse opportunities for your daughter to become involved in the chapter and on campus. Our educational programming, beginning with the new member program, covers a variety of topics including: women’s health issues, alcohol awareness, time management, academic skills and social issues. Through SDT, your daughter can also become involved in campus opportunities, such as: intramural sports, homecoming activities, leadership in College Panhellenic, as well as supporting the local community through philanthropic efforts.

The safety and health of your daughter is of the utmost importance to Sigma Delta Tau. We have an active risk management program, with strict National Policies prohibiting hazing and the use of alcohol and drugs at any Sigma Delta Tau programs or in our facilities. Every Sigma Delta Tau chapter is required to sponsor a Risk Management Workshop at the beginning of each semester so that all members are aware of and understand each policy.

We hope you will utilize this website to learn more about our National organization. With the click of your mouse, you can access our National Policies, Philanthropic Efforts, National Fees, National Headquarters Staff, and National Board of Directors. Check out the link to “Frequently Asked Questions” for information on grade requirements, scholarship grants and live-in commitments. We know you will also want to shop our SDT Marketplace, where sorority gifts of jewelry and sportswear are available for your daughter!

As a member of Sigma Delta Tau, your daughter will receive our National magazine, The Torch, for her lifetime. While she is in college, The Torch will be sent to her home address. Feel free to peruse the magazine and learn about the latest programs and initiatives sponsored by the National Sorority. It is also a chance to find out about the incredible contributions our chapters across the country are making to their colleges and universities.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our National Office at any time. The members of our National Council join me in welcoming your daughter as a member of Sigma Delta Tau. We also extend our best wishes to you as a part of our fraternal family.

Sincerely,
Marissa Gottfried
National President
