Luther College will have a new honor society chapter in the fall

Luther College is joining a group of more than 300 colleges and universities with membership in Alpha Lamda Delta, a national honor society known for recognizing first-year student success in higher education.

In the first year of its chapter this fall, Luther will be inviting eligible sophomores and juniors to be members of this honor society. Inductees must be enrolled full-time at Luther with a 3.5 grade point average or higher their first year.

Alpha Lambda Delta is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, which sets standards for national honor society excellence and serves as the only certifying agency for college and university honor societies in the nation.

Students who are inducted into ALD become eligible for more than $211,000 in undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and an undergraduate scholarship to study abroad.
