FAQs

Who can join Phi Alpha Delta?

Are there any membership dues? What do they cover?

Yes, we pay quarterly dues of $85 which are used entirely to fund chapter activities. Dues include access to all networking events, workshops, mentorship programs, and chapter bonding events. We also have a one-time payment to nationals of $150, that covers official registration and access to all national resources. 

What if I'm not sure if I want to go to law school?

How do I join PAD?

We have mandatory weekly meetings and strongly encourage you to attend 4+ randoms and 8+ coffee chats. All other events are optional, but will help you gain valuable experiences, build connections, and make the most of what Phi Alpha Delta had to offer. Although we are designed to be flexible, you get out of Phi Alpha Delta what you put into it!

We typically hold recruitment in the Fall and Spring, and information is first released on the PAD Instagram. However, if recruitment does not work for you, please reach out to membership to discuss further options!
