About Alpha Lambda Delta
Alpha Lambda Delta is a national honor society for academically
outstanding freshman. ALD was founded in 1924 at the University of Illinois.
Since then, it has grown to include 665,000 students and 225 chapters across
the United States.
The UGA chapter chooses its membership by mailing letters
each spring to freshman who earn a GPA of 3.5 or higher their first semester.
These freshmen then have the option of returning the letter with their one-time
dues of $25 to become a member.
