Truman’s Rho Rho chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, was named an Honor Chapter for its outstanding activities in 2023-24.

This is the 31st consecutive year Truman has earned this prestigious distinction, which represents the longest continuous Honor Chapter run in the 105-year-history of Sigma Delta Pi. Óscar Sendón, Rho Rho’s chapter advisor in 2023-24, was instrumental in earning this national honor.

Each summer, the 635 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 approximately 10-15 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.
