About Us
Lambda Alpha, or the National Collegiate Honors Society for Anthropology, provides scholarships and grants for student members and publishes an annual magazine including peer-reviewed student publications. It has over 170 chapters nation-wide.
The TU chapter of Lambda Alpha was formed in 2003, taking the place of the long-running Student Anthropology Society that had existed since the 1970s. The Anthropology Department at TU provides undergraduate and graduate degrees in archaeology and cultural anthropology. Lambda Alpha members include any student interested in anthropology.
Lambda Alpha holds regular events including meetings, guest speakers, movie nights, and field trips to local places of anthropological interest. By joining Lambda Alpha, students not only get to experience anthropology with like-minded students, but also have the opportunity to apply for scholarships and grants from the national LambdaAlpha organization.
