How to Join

To become a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, you must meet the following requirements:

• Enrolled full-time at an institution that has an active chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta

• Earned a 3.5 grade point average or higher your first semester or first year (chapters determine time frame and may also raise the minimum GPA and/or require top 20%)

If you received a letter or an email with instructions to join online using MyHonorSociety (MHS), ALD’s membership management system, it is legitimate! Follow the prompts to accept membership; you’ll need the unique code you received in your invitation.

Not all chapters use MHS. For those that don’t, follow whatever instructions you received from your campus to accept membership.

If you feel you are eligible and did not receive an invitation, first check here to find out if your institution has a chapter. If they do you may contact the local chapter advisor listed. If your institution does not have a chapter and you are interested in helping one get started, contact ald@nationalald.org.

Membership Eligibility

If you've received an invitation to Alpha Lambda Delta, that means you've already met the eligibility requirements - congratulations! For more membership specifications, please see the FAQ page.

Troubleshooting Your Online Invitation

Having trouble accepting your invitation in MyHonorSociety? Here are a few ways to troubleshoot:

• Have you tried a different web browser? Sometime computers can be tricky. Try using a different web browser, such as Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc.

• Are you accepting the invitation after the date specified in your invitation letter? Most invitations expire, and it is usually not possible to accept the invitation after the invitation period has closed.

• Are you using the email address on file with your institution? Typically this is your school-specific .edu account, however, not all schools use institutional email accounts. If your school does not, it would be the main email account you have on record with the school.

• Are you typing the invitation code correctly? It is case-sensitive.

• Are you using the link sent to your email account? You cannot accept an invitation if it was forwarded to you from someone else, even if you are using your credentials.

• Have you tried using the main acceptance link? To accept your invitation, go to: https://ald.myhonorsociety.com/accept. Register by using the e-mail address on file with your university and entering the case-sensitive invitation code found in your invitation letter.

If you have tried these steps and still cannot accept your invitation, please contact ALD Headquarters.
