Sigma Delta Pi was founded in 1919 and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies.  It is the largest foreign language honor society in existence and is the only honor society devoted exclusively to college students of Spanish.

FMU was granted a charter for the Chi Theta Chapter of Sigma Delta Pi on April 6, 2006.  Each year it inducts outstanding students of Spanish into its chapter based on certain criteria established by the national organization.  For more information, see www.sigmadeltapi.org or contact the chapter's advisor, Dr. Wendy Caldwell, wcaldwell@fmarion.edu.
