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 3.3 overall GPA, outstanding leadership qualities, and be active on campus and in the community.

Twenty-six 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. The Anderson Society is also responsible for maintaining the Anderson Society Room in The University of Alabama Student Center.
