WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF SIGMA DELTA PI?
Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society (La Sociedad Nacional Honoraria Hispnica), was established on November 14, 1919, at the University of California at Berkeley. Its insignia is the royal seal of Fernando and Isabel, representing Castille, Len and Aragn. The society’s colors are red and gold and its flower is the red carnation. With the guidance of such notable Hispanists as S. Griswold Morley, Elijah C. Hills, Rudolph Schevill, Leavitt O. Wright, William Berrien, John D. Fitz-Gerald, Toms Navarro Toms, Jos Martel, Archer M. Huntington, John T. Reid, Stuart M. Gross, James O. Swain, F. Dewey Amner, Carl A. Tyre, T. Earle Hamilton, Dolores Brown, Richard E. Chandler, and John H. LaPrade, the society has expanded its activities and now has over 500 chapters. Almost all state universities have chapters and the few that do not are now considering the founding of one. For more information about Sigma Delta Pi, visit the Sigma Delta Pi home page.
