Snead State welcomed 32 new members into its English honor society, Sigma Kappa Delta, at a ceremony held Thursday, April 19 in Fielder Auditorium.
Sigma Kappa Delta Sponsor and English Instructor Terri Narrell addressed the inductees about the benefits of the program, including the lifetime membership in an honor organization and scholarship opportunities. Snead State’s chapter of SKD was chartered in 2012. 

Membership into the honor society at Snead State requires completion of 12 transferable semester hours with a 3.3 GPA and at least a “B” average in all English courses. Members do not have to be English majors. 

Chapter President Matthew Ragsdale of Leesburg led the new members in the SKD pledge as English faculty members presented the inductees with pins and certificates.
