A few weeks ago I received an email saying my good grades first semester got me an invitation to
Alpha Lambda Delta, a national honor society on campus. It's a national honor society for first year students and once you're inducted, you're a member for life. The initiation happened on Wednesday night in the Perrine Gallery (second floor of the library). We signed our names into the official Alpha Lambda Delta book for Coe's chapter, received our pin and a certificate and then ate cake in celebration. Neat honor and neat experience.
A little history lesson: the society was started in 1924 as a way to the recognize academic excellence of freshman women at the University of Illinois. The society took off from there and eventually allowed men into the society. Their motto is: "We shall pass our torches on, one to another."
