SIGMA TAU DELTA USA FOUNDATION (STDUSAF)

(Gladys Guevarra Dizon, M.D.)

With the fire of the ideals of the sorority blazing in our hearts, we, the Sigmans, ventured in a foreign land in search of a new home. Through the help of the Internet, aided by social media, and mini-reunions, the Sigmans USA were able to reconnect with each other and rekindle the spirit of sisterhood. Thus, Sigma Tau Delta USA was born. And later, the Sigma Tau Delta USA Foundation was established as a formal entity on April 4, 2017. The Sigma Tau Delta USA Foundation is a non-profit corporation incorporated in the State of Illinois. We are a 501 (c)(3) organization officially recognized by the IRS. Our aim is to advance and advocate the ideals of the Sorority of Thomasian Doctors of the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. As such, we are a charitable body dedicated to humanitarian service. Though we are just a budding organization, we are beginning to make small strides in bringing our goals to fruition. We have established the STD USA Foundation Medical Mission Fund and the STD USA Foundation Disaster Relief Fund which have provided humanitarian relief to the needy in the Philippines.
