Student membership is limited to degree-seeking undergraduate students. Institutional chapters consist of colleges and universities which offer undergraduate degrees and which are accredited by regional associations.
Student members must have completed a minimum of twelve (12) graded semester hours for an associate degree and twenty-four (24) semester hours for a baccalaureate degree or equivalent and shall be matriculated students in an undergraduate degree program in an institution that is regionally accredited in the U.S. or recognized by the Ministry of Education of the country in which the program operates. Institutions may apply for exceptions to the residency requirements to address the needs of adult students in their institution.
All exceptions must be documented in the institution’s bylaws. The college credits may not include transfer credits. All credits must be taken through and graded at the matriculating institution and must be included in the student’s cumulative GPA.
Student members selected must meet the minimum GPA from your institution. 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. Please note that local chapters may impose higher standards for student membership than those stated in the ASLHS Constitution.
Students invited to membership must meet the criteria of the local chapter into which they are being inducted. Since most chapters hold only one formal induction ceremony per year, any student who graduates between ceremonies and who qualified for chapter membership at the time of their graduation shall be considered an “active” student and eligible for induction at the next induction ceremony.
**Thirty-six quarter hours or an approved number of unit courses equal to twenty-four semester hours.
Local chapters may elect faculty, administrative officers, and staff to honorary membership, provided that the number of such active members at any time shall not exceed twenty members or ten percent of the total membership of the chapter, whichever is larger.
Faculty, staff, and administrative personnel shall be exempt from all student membership criteria.

Alpha Sigma Lambda also has two private groups to provide a place for members of Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society to network with one another.
As we encourage members to get to know each other, we discourage posts for personal businesses or advertisements. Profane or sexual comments/posts will be deleted and the user banned from the site. Please feel free to post photos from your graduation or induction into this group or on the Official ASLHS Facebook page in the visitors’ section. Photos posted here in the group may be used on the ASLHS website, across ASLHS social media networks, and or in the Midnight Oil newsletter. These groups are moderated by Alpha Sigma Lambda office staff and our social media consultant. If you see a post that is inappropriate, please contact us to have it removed. As much as we try to stay on top of things, sometimes things get through.
Many adult students face financial challenges when they return to school. Your support will go directly to adult honor students working on completing their degree.
