Sigma Tau Delta was formed for literary and educational purposes.

The society strives to confer a distinction for high achievement in English language and in undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies. RMU's chapter has been involved with volunteer opportunities on campus and in the community. This is an entirely student-run organization.

Dr. Sylvia Pamboukian is the faculty advisor.
