Honorary Societies

The IUPUI Honors College actively supports a number of Honorary Societies which recognize academic achievement and service accomplishments. These Honorary societies provide opportunities for development of service-based leadership skills and offer a forum for engagement in our urban environment. Friendships formed in these honorary societies span lifetimes.

IUPUI chapter members have attended national leadership workshops and conventions and received national scholarships. Alpha Lambda Delta has a strong commitment to service.
