Welcome to the Lambda Omicron chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda at SUNY Cortland!  Alpha Sigma Lambda is an honor society that partners with colleges and universities to celebrate the scholarship and leadership of adult students in higher education.

History

Alpha Sigma Lambda was founded in 1945 to honor those dedicated adult students, who, while balancing their life responsibilities, achieve and maintain high scholastic standards.  Alpha Sigma Lambda is not only the oldest, but also the largest chapter-based honor society for full and part time students.

Membership Criteria for Alpha Sigma Lambda at SUNY Cortland are as follows:

1. Members must be matriculated, undergraduate students at SUNY Cortland,
2. have a minimum of 24 graded semester hours completed at SUNY Cortland,
3. Meet the definition of "non-traditional student" at SUNY Cortland,
4. have a minimum grade point average of 3.2.* The cumulative scholastic record of the student as interpreted by the institution where membership is to be conferred shall be the basis for computing scholastic eligibility.

• Members shall be selected only from the top 20 percent of the criteria listed 1-4 above.
• Eligible members will be emailed invitations in early March.

* GPA as of the end of the winter semester.

 The 2020 Induction Ceremony will be held Wednesday, April 22, 2020.
