Sigma Delta Pi is an honor society for those who seek and attain excellence in the study of the Spanish language and in the study of the literature and the culture of Spanish-speaking people. Requirements for membership include an average of 3.0 in all Spanish courses and a ranking in the upper 35 percent of their class. At least two Spanish courses on the 300 or 400 level must be completed; one of these needs to be a course in Hispanic literature or culture. Successful applicants are assessed a one-time fee of $35, which pays both national and local dues.
