Athens State English Society Adds to Scholarship Honoring A.E. Elmore    

The Kappa Zeta Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta English honor society at Athens State University recently donated $1,500 from proceeds earned during this fall’s Fiddlers Convention to benefit the A.E. Elmore Drama Scholarship.  The group raised the funds by partnering with the Limestone County Cattlemen's Association, who sell rib-eye sandwiches during the festival.  The group was instrumental in initially creating the scholarship in 2009. 

Historically, Sigma Tau Delta members pledge “to endeavor to advance the study of the chief literary masterpieces, to encourage worthwhile reading, to promote the mastery of written expression, and to foster a spirit of fellowship among students specializing in the English language and literature, ever keeping in mind [their] international motto:  Sincerity, Truth, Design."  

A symbolic check-passing was recreated during the society’s recent Holiday Party held in the home of Dr. Bebe Shaw, the group’s faculty sponsor.
