Alpha Sigma Lamda National Honor Society |
 |
Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society acknowledges the scholarship of nontraditional students continuing their higher education. The Society was established during 1945-46 to honor superior scholarship and leadership in adult students.
For the nontraditional student, the Society stands as an inspiration for continuing scholastic growth, a builder of pride through recognition, and an invitation to associate with similarly motivated students. To this day Alpha Sigma Lambda is not only the oldest but also largest chapter-based honor society for full- & part-time adult students.
