Welcome to Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD) Dickinson College Chapter's website. Here you can find out information regarding the organization and how you may become a part of us.










Alpha Lambda Delta is an honor society for students in their first year at an institution of higher education. We're a national organization that's been in existence since 1924. We recognize those students who have succeeded in maintaining a 3.5 or higher GPA, or are in the top 20% of their class, in their first year. Alpha Lambda Delta's mission is to "encourage superior academic achievement... to promote intelligent living and a continued high standard of learning, and to assist students in recognizing and developing meaningful goals for their unique roles in society."

The Dickinson College chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta is founded on April 9, 1989.
