Alpha Lambda Delta membership is open to all freshmen who meet the academic qualifications. Students must be registered for a full course of study leading to a bachelor's degree and must rank in the top 20 percent of their freshman class. The minimum scholastic average required for membership is a grade exactly halfway between the two highest grades given by the school (i.e., 3.5 or above 4.0 scale). Eligibility may be based on grades of the first full curricular period (i.e., semester, trimester, quarter, or term) or on the cumulative average of the first year in college.

Once initiated, the student becomes a lifetime member of Alpha Lambda Delta. Members may remain active in the chapter throughout college. Offices are held by members while they are sophomores.

Membership in Alpha Lambda Delta is conferred by the local campus.  If you think you are eligible for membership, contact your local campus advisor or contact the National Office. (ald@mercer.edu or 912-301-4324).
