Sigma Delta Tau Scholarship Fund

Jenna Handler is a sophomore from New Jersey studying Psychology and Criminology and Criminal Justice. Her Maryland experience has been both academically challenging and rewarding, as all of her hard work has paid off with new opportunities being opened to me. Socially, Jenna is very thankful for all the connections she’s made through the University of Maryland, and she greatly attributes these connections to joining her sorority, Sigma Delta Tau. She has become very involved in the sorority by becoming Vice President of her member class and serving on the General Board as sisterhood chair. Jenna also hopes to further her involvement by serving on the executive board in the coming semester.

Rachelle Guy is a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park. Throughout her time in college, she has held the priority of maintaining a balance between her academics, leadership, work, and sorority involvement. From being VP of Scholarship for her sorority, Sigma Delta Tau, to being a research assistant for the UMD school of Public Policy, a teaching assistant for the Law and Society department at UMD, a legal assistant for a nearby law firm, an intern for the World Jewish Congress, managing editor for the Maryland Undergraduate Law Review, and even captain of an intramural volleyball team, Rachelle involved herself on and off campus while ensuring that she maintain strong relationships with those around her. She has her sights sets on law school for next year and she can not wait to use the skills she has developed throughout her time at UMD and as a member of Sigma Delta Tau to get started. 

I am a junior studying Psychology and Family science in the honors college at UMD. I served as Vice President of Risk Management for my chapter this past year, and love being an active member in my chapter. In addition to my involvement in Greek life, I also serve as a research assistant for The Center for Early Childhood Education and Intervention as well as the Cognition and Development Lab.

Through joining Sigma Delta Tau, I was able to get myself involved in a few leadership positions. I started out on the general board as the Health and Wellness/Sustainability chair, which was a fun way to get involved in the chapter as a new member, as well as interact with other members of Greek life through the Green Terp Program. I later became social chair, which also allowed me to build bonds in the Greek community as well as in my own chapter. After my graduation this Spring, I will be heading back home to Massachusetts to attend Boston College in the fall to earn my Master of Social Work. I am very excited for this next chapter in my life and to see all that comes!
