Students need not major in anthropology to qualify for membership in our Iota chapter of Lambda Alpha, the national collegiate honor society for anthropology. Any student who has completed a minimum of four courses in anthropology and has maintained a 3.5 GPA in those courses and a 3.3 cumulative GPA can apply. Additional details are available from the department.
Inductions are held for our Iota chapter of Lambda Alpha each spring.
Honorary Cords
Each year, the honorary cords for graduating senior members of Lambda Alpha are handmade by the junior, sophomore, and first-year members of the club. The instructions for making these cords have been handed down from class to class for many years. The cords are red, white, and black, representing theories from the 1969 Berlin and Kay color study.
