English Club/Sigma Tau Delta
The Minot State University English Club exists to provide academic, social, and philanthropic events and opportunities for all MSU students interested in English and language arts to participate in throughout the academic year. We celebrate all parts of the discipline-literature, writing, linguistics, pedagogy, and technical communications-and welcome anyone who is interested in participating, regardless of major.
Among some of the events the English Club has sponsored, organized, and/or been involved with are pizza parties, bonfires, field trips to Minneapolis and Bismarck, movie afternoons, book circles, student teacher support groups, poetry slams, read-a-thons, Valentine's Day sales, graduation parties, and poetry readings. Our major fundraisers include an annual Holiday Tea each November and a used book & media sale every April. We also participate in a number of philanthropic projects, such as reading-4-kids, American Red Cross fundraisers, adult literacy programs, and book donations to underprivileged areas, among other events.
We welcome you to come to the meetings and events and to become involved with the club. English Club meetings are held regularly throughout the academic year, approximately every three weeks. Active members must participate in three official events each semester. For more information, please see the bulletin board in Hartnett Hall, drop by HH 142W, e-mail our general account, or contact the club advisor.
Minot State University is also home to the Phi Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society. Sigma Tau Delta's central purpose is to confer distinction upon students of the English language and literature in undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies. Membership is open to English majors and minors only, via application. Membership in Sigma Tau Delta is separate from membership in the MSU English Club. For information about joining Sigma Tau Delta, please contact the faculty sponsor.
