Massachusetts Residents inducted into Honor Society for First-Year Success

MANCHESTER, NH (November 24, 2023) - Saint Anselm College student Rachel Romero of Winchendon, MA, Politics major in the class of 2025, was accepted into Alpha Lambda Delta, a national scholastic honor society for first-year success, for the 2022-2023 academic year.

To be eligible for invitation, students must be enrolled full-time at an institution with an active chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta and have a 3.5 grade point average or higher in their first semester or first year of study.

Alpha Lambda Delta was founded in 1924 by Maria Leonard, the Dean of Women at the University of Illinois, to recognize academic excellence among freshman women. One year prior, Dean Thomas Arkle Clark had founded Phi Eta Sigma, an honor society to recognize academic excellence among freshman men. Both groups became coeducational in 1976 in response to Title IX. Alpha Lambda Delta has grown to 280 chapters and has initiated over one million students.
