Anderson Society

The Anderson Society is a leadership honorary that recognizes students who have made significant contributions to the University of Alabama. In order to be considered for active membership, candidates must fill out an application in the spring of their junior year. Applicants must have a 2.75 overall GPA, outstanding leadership qualities, and be active on campus and in the community. No interview is required for membership. Twenty-four active members are selected.

Another category of membership is honorary membership. Honorary membership consists of those students, graduate and undergraduate, that are selected for membership but who will not be returning to the University in the fall due to graduation. Faculty members who are chosen are also considered to have honorary membership. Seven honorary members are chosen. Applicants who are selected for both types of memberships are tapped on The Mound during Honors Day in the spring.

The Anderson Society participates in fundraising and philanthropic activities. Our biggest project occurs during Homecoming. The Anderson Society is in charge of designing and selling Homecoming T-shirts. The profits from the sales are donated to charities selected by the Anderson Society. We participate in two or three smaller philanthropy projects in the spring semester as well. The Anderson Society is also responsible for maintaining the Anderson Society Room in Ferguson Center .
