Sigma Tau Delta is an international English Honor Society. Members of Sigma Tau Delta have the opportunity to share the ir love of literature and linguistics with like-m inded peers, partic ipate in rewarding activities, and be recognized for their accomplishments. Being a member of this prestigious honor society in some cases instantly qualifies members, for one or more of the Society's numerous awards and scho larships. To celebrate their love of literature, members attended a literary themed party where each attendant dressed up as one of their favorite literary characters . The party was hosted by one of their newest members, Lisa Sabido, who greeted all the "characters" on the red carpeted entrance and interviewed them Academy Award style as photographers snapped their photos. Memorable characters that were seen were Tom Sawyer, Hermione Granger from "Harry Potter", Hamlet, Ophelia, Bella from "Twilight ", Mrs. Cou lter from "The Golden Compass", and the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland.
