National Collegiate Honors Society for Anthropology


Lambda Alpha is the national collegiate honors society for anthropology. The local chapter is open to all students at Drake University. An invitation for membership is extended to students meeting all of the following requirements.

1. Completion of twelve hours of anthropology courses.

2. Anthropology G.P.A. of 3.0.

3. Cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0.

Membership in Lambda Alpha not only marks excellence in the study of anthropology, but it also encourages professional development. Indeed, students who participate in Lambda Alpha have an opportunity to meet others with similar goals and interests, are encouraged to publish their original research in the Lambda Alpha Journal, and are eligible for national scholarships awarded by the honors society to promising students.

Upon acceptance students pay a lifetime membership fee of $15. Subscriptions to the Lambda Alpha Journal may be purchased for $10. Personal checks should be made payable to Drake University. Initiation to Lambda Alpha will be announced at the College of Arts and Sciences Honors Convocation in the Spring.

If you have questions concerning membership, contact Professor Janet Wirth-Cauchon, Department Chair.
