LA SOCIEDAD INTERNACIONAL HISPÁNICA HONORARIA
NATIONAL
COLLEGIATE HISPANIC HONOR SOCIETY
SIGMA DELTA PI
Sigma delta Pi invites those
students who seek excellence in the study of the language, culture, history, and
literature of Spanish speaking peoples to apply for admission in to the chapter
for 2007.
Sigma Delta Pi is not only
the largest foreign language society in existence, but also one of the very
best; a fact attested by its membership in the Association of College Honors
Societies and accredited body, which demands the maintenance of the highest
academic standards.
The society was formed to
encourage colleges and universities to acquire a grater interest in, and a
deeper understanding, of Spanish speaking cultures and to foster friendly
relations and mutual respect between nations of English speech and those of
Spanish speech.
Our local GVSU chapter is
authorized to honor with membership outstanding students who are earnest
supporters of all things Hispanic. The
insignia of sigma delta Pi reflects this sense of pride in its use of the royal
seal of Fernando de Aragón e Isabel de Castilla, Los Reyes Católicos, and the
red and gold colors of the Spanish flag.
