We know the invitation to join Alpha Lambda Delta may not be the only honor society invitation you’ve received. We also know you may be wondering which honor organizations are legitimate and which ones might be scams or only after your money.

Alpha Lambda Delta is accredited with the Association of College Honor Societies, the nation’s only certifying agency for college and university honor societies. ACHS sets standards for organizational excellence and for scholastic eligibility. We are a nonprofit 501 c 3 association with a Platinum Seal of Transparency with GuideStar.
