Alpha Lambda Delta officers for 2026-2027 are President Rachel Wagoner of Haughton, Vice President Baylee Johnson of Robeline, Secretary Drew Kent of Haughton, Treasurer William Brayden Campbell of Marthaville, Service and Philanthropy Chair Gracie Ross of Denham Springs, Faculty/Staff Liaison Kaleb Godwin of Leesville, Scholarship Chair Madison Scott of Shreveport, Historian and Public Relations Chair Kaylee Stacy of Natchitoches and Junior Advisor Heidi Gauthier of Moreauville.
Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society was established in 1924. The Northwestern State University chapter was established in 1965. On campus, Alpha Lambda Delta members are actively engaged in all facets of the community. Last fall the NSU Chapter earned the National “Maintaining the Flame” Award, one of two annual awards presented to the most outstanding chapters of Alpha Lambda Delta.
Since 2018, the NSU Chapter has been recognized seven times as a recipient of the Order of the Torch or Maintaining the Flame. Chapter activities include fall Demon Days Welcome events, the Sophomore Breakfast Club, Be a Tourist in Your College Town, numerous campus-wide collaborative programs and a wide range of service initiatives including the NSU Food Pantry, Special Olympics and the [1 of 7] service initiative for the First Year Experience.
