Membership Fees
Many organizations and societies that students get invited to join charge hefty fees, between $80-$100 minimum – and some charge additional fees throughout college.
ALD has a one-time $35 national fee, which is one of the lowest of any honor society in the U.S.
Each chapter may charge a local fee which can vary, but the combined fee is still low compared to other organizations.
There are no hidden fees and the one-time fee when accepting membership is for a lifetime.
The invitation to join Alpha Lambda Delta may not be the only honor society invitation you’ll receive. You may be wondering which honor organizations are legitimate and which ones might be scams or only after your money. Alpha Lambda Delta is accredited with the Association of College Honor Societies, the nation’s only certifying agency for college and university honor societies. ACHS sets standards for organizational excellence and for scholastic eligibility, so you can be assured that Alpha Lambda Delta is a credible organization.
We have been active at {institution} since {year-founded}!
