About Us
Welcome to Sigma Alpha Lambda Sigma Alpha Lambda is a National Leadership and Honors Organization dedicated to developing the individual and serving our campus and community. The mission of Sigma Alpha Lambda is to recognize members for academic achievement, to engage members in service, and to develop members for leadership. Service is the foundation of our leadership development model as well as the leadership of the organization itself. Through service, individuals look outside themselves and lives are changed, not only for the one being served but even more so for the one serving. As a result of this process, the individual learns more about who they really are and what they value. Our Statement of Purpose and organization

Blessings in a Backpack

Summer hasn’t stopped University of Southern Mississippi from working hard to help others. Led by the incoming chapter president, Jennifer Lewis, SAL participated in Blessings in a Backpack. Working with two other on-campus organizations, they collected school supplies such as notebooks, highlighters, paper, index cards, binders, and more. They filled backpacks and donated them to international students at USM. The chapter’s passion for international students has been seen by many in the area with news articles from on-campus and off-campus featuring this project.
