Benefits of Joining Alpha Lambda Delta

Leadership Certificate

Identify and build on your strengths, overcome obstacles, develop greater self-confidence, improve productivity, and learn more effective communication skills. Advance your overall leadership skills – at your own pace – through our innovative ALD Leads Certified program.

Financial Assistance

$211,000 is awarded each year in scholarship money to help fund undergraduate education, study abroad experiences, graduate study, and service. Your campus may also award scholarships to chapter members only.

Discounts & Perks

Once you accept membership, you are eligible to participate in the ALD Perks Program, which provides exclusive access to over 302,000 perks and discounts nationwide.

Career Preparation

ALD knows freshmen value their career path, and we’ve created opportunities to help you succeed. From webinars with alumni, to career design keynote speakers, to offering resume and interview tips, ALD aims to help take you from first-year to career.

Volunteer Opportunities

Make a difference in the lives of others by helping those in need. Alpha Lambda Delta chapters give back to their campuses and communities through various projects and volunteer opportunities.

JOB Search & Educational Resources

Alpha Lambda Delta is proud to collaborate with our educational partners to offer test prep discounts, internship scholarships, and to help match you to companies for internships and jobs based on your skills and interests.

Start as a Federal GS-7

According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, “membership in a national honor society meets one of the requirements for entrance at the GS-7 level in numerous professional and technical occupations in the Federal service.” College graduates without this experience can expect to start in the GS-5 grade.

Enhance Your Resume

Simply being a member of Alpha Lambda Delta is a great resume-builder. You can be as involved as you want to be. You are encouraged to be active in your local chapter's activities, but there's no requirement for involvement from headquarters. You've already earned the grades, now accept the recognition!

Lifetime Membership

One-time fee for life. To keep your costs low, ALD dues are only $30 - one of the lowest fees of any honor society in the U.S. Chapters typically add local dues for induction ceremonies, campus programming, and service projects.

Leadership conference

Alpha Lambda Delta is a great way to meet other students committed to academic excellence on your campus, and internationally at the annual leadership conference.

Sense of Belonging

ALD provides a community of scholars across disciplines to be social, welcoming, and have fun! And after you graduate you’ll enjoy a network of over 1 million members nationwide and worldwide.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

ALD Headquarters and your local chapter help members support each other to maintain academic excellence throughout your collegiate experience. And you get to help inspire the next first-year class to achieve and be invited to join ALD.
