Freshman Honor Society

<p>Has anyone ever attended the Alpha Lambda Delta Freshman Honor Society induction? We received an invite and just wanted to know if anyone felt it was a "must attend" event! I'd love to be there for my daughter, but need to know if this is something that is worthy of a 9-hour ride. I hope you understand what I mean -- I'm always there to support her, but this would be a big trip! Thanks.</p>

<p>We did not attend last year and never heard any discontent from D about it.</p>

<p>I honestly don't think it's worth an 9 hour drive unless you just need an excuse to get away.</p>

<p>we didn't attend either, and come to think of it I dont think S wound up attending the ceremony either...a time conflict I think.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the cost is? My D received the invite, but it didn't give much information. She is already covering her own sorority costs, so she was curious what the cost of the honor society was.</p>

<p>We received info in the mail on this earlier this month. The cost is $30 for a "lifetime membership" -- $20 for national dues and $10 for local chapter dues. It seemed worthwhile, so I sent the check. The literature mentioned a lot about the society's involvement in community service projects, which was the key "selling point" for us.</p>
