Extracurricular life as an English major is rich and extensive. The School of English Studies sponsors the honor society Sigma Tau Delta and other groups which help organize such activities as theater trips to New York, student symposiums, and visits by distinguished writers. Outlets for student writing are readily available through Creation Space, a student literary magazine, and website sponsored by the School of English Studies.
- Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society: Sigma Tau Delta's central purpose is to confer distinction for achievement in all areas of the English discipline while promoting high standards in character and fellowship among members.
