Sigma Tau Delta is the International English Honor Society. Sigma Tau Delta was established in 1924 at Dakota Wesleyan University. Its purposes are to confer distinction for high achievement in English language and literature studies in undergraduate, graduate, and professional work, to promote interest in literature and the English language on local campuses and their surrounding communities, and to foster the discipline of English in all its aspects, including creative and critical writing. There are more than 800 chapters around the world.

The Alpha Sigma Kappa chapter was established at Saginaw Valley State University in 2011. Chapter members are eligible to apply for Sigma Tau Delta scholarships, participate in international conventions, and submit original written work for publication in The Rectangle, the society's literary magazine. The Alpha Sigma Kappa has a used book sale every year, and donates books collected to Better World Books, many of which are sent to literacy centers in the U.S. and overseas.

To be eligible, one must have completed at least 45 credits, have a GPA of at least 3.0 in all courses, and a GPA of at least 3.3 in English courses.
