"Being in Sigma Delta Tau provides a platform for every sister to be their true authentic selves. It's empowering...whether it's through the sisterhood or philanthropic participation. It's an amazing honor to be a part of this organization, especially when the growth and impact are visible. The cornerstone of this foundation is to liberate and empower women of all types and to encourage them to be the best versions of themselves. SDT at Kent State strives to do this everyday. "
