First in Scholarship and Leadership

What is Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL)?

Established in 1945 at Northwestern University, Alpha Sigma Lambda recognizes the special achievements of adults who accomplish academic excellence while facing competing interests of home and work.

With over 300 chapters, Alpha Sigma Lambda is the oldest and largest national honor society for full and part-time students.

Alpha Sigma Lambda's aim is to recognize the special achievements of adults who accomplish academic excellence while facing competing interests of home and work.

Alpha Sigma Lambda is dedicated to the advancement of scholarship and recognizes high scholastic achievement in an adult student's career. By so doing, this Society encourages many students to continue toward and to earn associate and baccalaureate degrees.

Through leadership born of effort, both scholastically and fraternally, Alpha Sigma Lambda inspires its candidates to give of their strengths to their fellow students and communities through their academic achievements.

To the newcomer in higher education, Alpha Sigma Lambda stands as an inspiration to scholastic growth and an invitation to associate with similarly motivated students.

NKU was awarded a charter for the Nu Kappa Pi chapter in May 2008.  Since this is an honorary organization, there are no fees or dues or other obligations if you accept the invitation.
