Sigma Tau Delta: International English Honorary

The Irving Bacheller Society takes its name from a member of the St. Lawrence University class of 1882, the popular journalist and author of Eben Holden, the first bestseller of the twentieth century.  It is an honorary organization comprised of students who have exhibited enthusiasm for, and demonstrated proficiency in, the study of English.

Eligibility for membership is determined by the following requirements: students who have completed at least four English courses must have a 3.5 grade point average in English; students who have completed at least six English courses must have at least a 3.25 grade point average in English.  Overall cumulative GPA in each case must be in the top 35% of the class but not lower than a 3.0.

  • Online applications for Spring 2024 will be available in May.  Please direct questions regarding the honor society to Ann Hubert, Associate Professor of English and Irving Bacheller faculty advisor.
