Illinois State University’s Eta Upsilon chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, has been named an Honor Chapter for its exceptional activities in 2021-2022.
One of only 12 chapters nationwide earning the designation, this is the eighth year that Illinois State has earned the award. “Angela Bailey, ISU’s long-standing chapter advisor, was instrumental in earning these national honors,” said Dr. Mark P. Del Mastro, the national executive director of the honor society.
Each summer, the 629 chapters of Sigma Delta Pi nationwide are asked to submit an annual report detailing their numerous activities and projects from the academic year. Based on these reports, the National Executive Committee chooses approximately 10-15 Honor Chapters annually. This recognition is based upon the caliber of chapter projects that reflect the Sigma Delta Pi mission of honoring excellence in the study of the Spanish language, contributing to cultural understanding, and upholding the goals of the society.
