This year our chapter of Sigma Tau Delta will be hosting its first campus-wide Scrabble tournament.
We got the idea while in St. Louis during last year's convention. After spending the better part of our days attending each others panels and wandering the streets of St. Louis, we would often end our nights with friendly games of Scrabble. This attracted a lot of attention, both from members of Sigma Tau Delta as well as from various passerby in the hotel. It gave us the idea that we could possibly plan an event that would get not only members of Sigma Tau Delta and the English department involved, but professors and students from other disciplines as well.
The tournament will be held on March 16th, from approximately 1:00pm-4:00pm in the main lounge of Bliss Hall - the nexus of all things literary at The College of New Jersey. Participants will be randomly paired in brackets. Games will be timed (1 hour long) to ensure that the pace of the tournament is fair. We are currently in the process of selecting prizes, although there will be a prize for every participant. Although we are still in the planning process, we have already generated a considerable buzz on campus.
