To join the UNR Linguistics Club simply sign up at the ASUN club portal here, and then email us through the contact us page to let us know you want to be admitted. The only requirement is that you are active in some manner (ie. that you come to a meeting or event occasionally)
Sigma Tau Delta has a very simple membership process: as long as you meet the requirements through the society and pay a small fee. Visit the Sigma Tau Delta website here to see requirements.
Some advantages of joining Sigma Tau Delta:
Membership in Sigma Tau Delta is an outward recognition of personal
accomplishment. It provides opportunities for those interested in
English language and literature to join with like-minded persons on the
local, regional, national, and international levels. Additional
benefits are as follows:
- Members receive a certificate attesting to membership in the Society and the Society pin.
- Members (within the U.S. and its territories) receive a
one-year subscription to Sigma Tau Delta publications with their
induction fee: one fall newsletter, and two journals, The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle and The Sigma Tau Delta Review (mailed
in the spring). International chapters receive two copies of Sigma Tau
Delta publications; additional copies are available at current
international shipping rates.
- Members can compete for several $1,000 to $4,000 scholarships and awards.
- Members can apply for internship opportunities with major publishing companies.
- Members can submit papers for presentation at the annual spring Sigma Tau Delta International Convention.
- Members can submit papers for publication in The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle and The Sigma Tau Delta Review.
- Members meet one of the U.S. Civil Service Commission
requirements for entrance at the GS-7 level in numerous professional
and technical occupations in the Federal Service (see www.achsnatl.org/achsbene.asp).
This also means that students graduating with a B.S. or B.A., many of
them entering at GS-5 level, move up considerably in the salary
scale--up to $5000 or more per year--for membership in Sigma Tau Delta.
- Members can apply for internships through the Washington Internship Institute (WII), the premier internship program in Washington, DC. WII and the Association of College Honor Societies
offer $500 scholarships to all Sigma Tau Delta members who participate
in WII's program. Internships are available in ALL majors. Scholarships
may be applied to either tuition or housing. For more information,
visit www.achsnatl.org/wii_index.asp.
- Members are eligible to apply for a merit-based $1,000 scholarship to attend The Fund for American Studies
(TFAS) Summer Institute or Capital Semester. This scholarship is
available to one Sigma Tau Delta member through a partnership with the Association of College Honor Societies and TFAS. For more information, visit www.achsnatl.org/tfas_index.asp.
- Members are eligible for scholarships to help cover housing expenses in the internship program at The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWC) through a partnership with Association of College Honor Societies.
TWC is pleased to provide three $1,000 scholarships a year to Sigma Tau
Delta members (both undergraduates and recent college graduates). For
more information, please visit www.achsnatl.org/twc_index.asp.
- Female members can take advantage of a complimentary membership to Women for Hire ($38 value), which offers advice, solutions, networking, tools, tips, and other career resources and guidance. Visit Women For Hire for full membership details. (To take advantage of the membership offer, email michelle@womenforhire.com and include Sigma Tau Delta in the subject line.)
