What is Alpha Lambda Delta?

Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD) is a national honor society recognizing the best and brightest of first-year college students at the University of West Georgia. The mission of ALD is to encourage superior academic achievement; to promote intelligent living and a high standard of learning, and to assist students in recognizing and developing meaningful goals in society.

Founded in 1924 at the University of Illinois, Alpha Lambda Delta has over 250 chapters in the United States. By inviting you to become a member of this prestigious honor society, we hope to encourage you to maintain academic excellence throughout your college career and to offer you the opportunity to develop friendships with other students who have serious academic interests.
