SIGMA DELTA PI, the Spanish Honorary, invites all eligible undergraduate and graduate students of Spanish to apply for membership. The qualifications for undergraduates are as follows: completion of 18 hours of college-level Spanish or the equivalent, including at least 3 semester hours of a course in Hispanic literature or Hispanic culture and civilization at the junior (3rd year level); rank in the upper 35% of his/her class (sophomore, junior, senior); and a G.P.A. of 3.0 in all Spanish courses taken. A student may be admitted as a member of the Spanish Honorary while enrolled in the required literature and culture course (i.e., SPAN 330, 340, 333, 343/SPAN 6- -) if the instructor certifies in writing that the student’s work is of “A” or “B” quality.
Graduate students may be elected to membership upon completion of 2 graduate courses in Spanish with an average, which if continued, will make them eligible for a graduate degree. Students who are currently in the last semester of their course work or who will not be on campus during the semester for which they are applying for membership (e.g., in a semester-long study abroad program) are not eligible. All interested students should fill out an application form and return it to Dr. Sandra Dixon (Room 317A, Chitwood Hall) by 4.00 p.m. on FRIDAY, October 26. Please enclose the completed form and a check made out to “SIGMA DELTA PI” for thirty-five dollars ($35.00) in an envelope. Forms are available at 317A Chitwood Hall. Absolutely no application will be accepted without a check. The induction ceremony will be held on Friday, November 9. (Time and place to be announced).
