In 1978, a group of students from the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore School of Business and Economics identified a need to recognize hospitality and tourism students for outstanding academic achievement, meritorious service and demonstrated professionalism. At that time, honor societies existed for other disciplines, but not for the field of study serving one of the world's largest industries.
As a special project, the students researched and evaluated a variety of options for fulfilling this need. The end result was the establishment of the first chapter of Eta Sigma Delta International Hospitality Management Society. Today, there are over 60 active Eta Sigma Delta chapters throughout the world. The growth is testament to the dedication of both students and professionals in hospitality and tourism to the pursuit of academic, professional and personal excellence.
The guidance and support of International CHRIE has made it possible for ESD to grow. It is the intent that this Society will lead hospitality and tourism educators and professionals to the highest levels of professionalism and achievement.
ΗΣΔ Benefits
The professional benefits of Eta Sigma Delta include an opportunity for outstanding students to distinguish themselves in the eyes of educators, recruiters and industry executives in an increasingly competitive industry. In addition, ESD provides a networking system through their chapters that allows for interaction and the exchange of information among students. Often, ESD meets for special events or functions at annual trade shows. An Eta Sigma Delta column regularly appears in the I-CHRIE monthly newsletter as well.
From a programming standpoint, ESD will work closely with the Hospitality Adventure Student Organization (HASO) to provide opportunities that allow our members to interact with leaders in the hospitality industry. In addition, it is our hope to include a trip each year which will allow our ESD members to present industry-related research and/or to gain privileged access to potential employers.
ΗΣΔ Eligibility for Membership
Membership in Eta Sigma Delta is by invitation only. Invitations are extended each year to Wall College of Business students that have completed fifty percent (50%) of the required credits to earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Resort Tourism Management while maintaining a grade point average (G.P.A.) of 3.25 or above.
