"Honor Chapter" Selected by the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society

On August 2, 2008, The Citadel's Tau Iota Chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, was one of only 10 chapters nationwide to be selected as an "Honor Chapter" by the National Executive Committee during its annual meeting in Milwaukee. Chapters are chosen for their outstanding activities realized during the academic year. The other chapters receiving this award are California State University, Fullerton; Friends University; Kean University; Marquette University; St. John's University; Texas Tech University; Truman State University; University of Northern Colorado and Virginia Tech University.  This is the 16th consecutive year that The Citadel's group has earned this distinction; there are 552 total chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Cadets Valentín Boza, Jonathan Rodriguez and James Chamberlain served as the chapter President, Vice-President and Secretary respectively for the 2007-08 academic year. Dr. Mark P. Del Mastro founded Tau Iota in January 1993, and he still serves as Chapter Adviser along with Dr. Zane U. Segle of the Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures Department.
