The University of Oklahoma chapter is achieving the soci-ety’s purposes in an exemplary manner. I am honored to recognize your Alpha Lambda Delta chapter as one of the five most outstanding chapters in the nation for the 2009-2010 school year.” Dr. Earwood presented the Torch Banner to former chapter president Emily Fuhr, past Vice President Madeline Murrell and current President Jordan Naylor.
