Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Delta Tau (ΣΔΤ) is an American sorority and member of the National Panhellenic Conference. Sigma Delta Tau was founded on March 25, 1917, at Cornell University by Jewish women. However, there is no religious requirement for membership to the sorority. Sigma Delta Tau has over 70,000 initiates from 105 chapters around the United States. It is a member of the National Panhellenic Conference.
Sigma Delta Tau was founded on March 25, 1917, at Cornell University by seven Jewish women. Its founders were students Dora Bloom Turteltaub, Amy Apfel Tishman, Marian Gerber Greenberg, Grace Srenco Grossman, Inez Dane Ross, Regene Freund Cohane and Lenore Rubinow. The original name, Sigma Delta Phi, was changed after the women discovered a sorority with the same name already existed.
The sorority was formed as a local organization, with no plans for expansion. However,a second chapter was formed at the University of Pennsylvania in 1920, followed by a chapter at Ohio State University in 1921. By 1930, Sigma Delta Tau had chartered ten chapters and had initiated 540 members. It also had established alumnae chapters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; New York City; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The sorority is governed by an executive council that is elected at a biennial convention.
There is no religious requirement for membership to the sorority, and it prides itself on being inclusive of all, as well as being historically Jewish. Sigma Delta Tau has over 70,000 initiates from 105 chapters around the United States. Its headquarters is in Carmel, Indiana.
Sigma Delta Tau's motto is Patriae Multae Spes Una or "one Hope of Many People". The colors of Sigma Delta Tau are cafe au lait and old blue. The sorority's symbol is the torch. Its flower is the golden tea rose. Its jewel is lapis lazuli.
The Sigma Delta Tau badge is a jeweled gold torch with Greek letters ΣΔΤ, with six pearls, and a diamond on the flame. The new member pin is round with a background of blue enamel with a gold torch enameled in old blue.
Its publication, The Torch, was established in 1922.
