Sigma Delta Tau

Sigma Delta Tau was founded on March 25, 1917 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and has grown to include more than 90 college campuses across the United States and Canada. The Eta chapter was chartered at the University of Georgia on April 6, 1924. The mission of Sigma Delta Tau is to enrich the college experience of women of similar ideals, to build lasting friendships, and to foster personal growth.

On campus, Sig Delts are involved in many activities. SDT sisters hold leadership positions on the executive boards of ugaMIRACLE, Women in Business Club, Habitat for Humanity, Student Merchandizing Association and Relay for Life. Many sisters are involved in SGA, HERO, Hoop Girls, Match Mates, Greek Emerging Leaders Resource Team, Advertising Club and various honor societies. The Eta chapter has a strong work ethic and repeatedly holds one of the highest chapter grade point averages. Sig Delts also have active roles in UGA athletics such as Club Soccer, Swim Club, Club Softball, Tap Dawgs, UGA Cheerleading and Red Light Entertainment Dance Group.

In addition to campus activities, Sigma Delta Tau contributes to multiple philanthropies. Each year, the Eta chapter looks forward to its annual UGA Idol competition to raise money for Prevent Child Abuse America. Nationally, Sigma Delta Tau has raised more than $50,000 for this cause. Sig Delt sisters also sponsor Greek Grind, a sorority dance competition to raise money for ugaMIRACLE benefiting the Children’s Miracle Network. The Eta chapter shares a close sisterhood and takes pride in its academic, social and philanthropic endeavors.
