Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society
Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD) is a national honor society that recognizes and celebrates the academic excellence of first-year college students. Founded in 1924, ALD encourages continued scholarly achievement, leadership development, and a lifelong commitment to learning. Students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance during their first year of college are invited to join a community of high-achieving peers dedicated to success both inside and outside the classroom.
