The name Lambda Alpha is composed of the initial letters of the Greek words LOGOS ANTHROPOU, meaning “The Study of Man”.  The purpose of the society is to encourage and stimulate scholarship and research in Anthropology by recognizing and honoring superior achievement in the discipline among students, faculty and other persons engaged in the study of Anthropology.
