• Active membership is open to both English majors and English minors who have completed a minimum of two college courses in English language or literature (beyond the freshman and sophomore English requirements) with an average of 3.5, plus a general cumulative average of 3.0.
  
• Associate membership is open to students who have the requisite academic background (as stipulated above for active membership) but who are not majoring or minoring in English.
  
• In addition to conferring distinction for high achievement in English language and literature and exhibiting high standards of academic excellence through its chapters, Sigma Tau Delta promotes and emphasizes the discipline of English in all its aspects, including creative and critical writing, by inviting both active and associate members to contribute to its national publication, The Rectangle.
