Texas State University’s Chapter Epsilon Beta of the Sigma Delta Pi National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society has been named an Honor Chapter for outstanding activities in 2021-2022.

The Texas State chapter was among 12 so honored this year. This marks the fourth consecutive year and 17th time overall Epsilon Beta has been so recognized, dating back to 1991.

Chapter adviser David Navarro was instrumental in earning this year's recognition, as he also was the previous three. Also, because Texas State earned “Honor Chapter” distinction each year of the 2019-22 triennium, it also earned the Octavio Paz Award in 2022.

Each summer, the 629 chapters of Sigma Delta Pi nationwide are asked to submit an annual report detailing their numerous activities and projects from the academic year. Based on these reports, the national executive committee chooses 10 to 15 Honor Chapters annually. This recognition is based upon the caliber of chapter projects that reflect the Sigma Delta Pi mission of honoring excellence in the study of the Spanish language, contributing to cultural understanding and upholding the goals of the society.

With its national office at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, Sigma Delta Pi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, the nation’s only certifying agency for college and university honor societies.
