Sigma Tau Delta and Friends - Alpha Alpha Eta Chapter

The Alpha Alpha Eta Chapter strives to enrich the literary, reading, writing, and cultural experiences for all members. The chapter encourages community service and networking.  In Fall 2007, members served as volunteers for the Breast Cancer Awareness Run, and they sponsored a forum for what can be done with a humanities degree. The organization also worked with the Psychology Club to help with resumes. In Spring 2008, members have had a bake sale and an appreciation breakfast for Languages, Literature, and Philosophy faculty and staff, including a recognition award for Mr. Dupee who cares for our building.
