Join Phi Alpha Delta!

As the end of the semester is winding down, many of you may be thinking "I should totally get involved around Cap!" Well, I am here to feature another student organization that you should definitely check out. Did you know all of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices are Phi Alpha Delta alumni? Phi Alpha Delta is a co-ed professional fraternity that "encourage[s] professionalism by supporting [and] rewarding camaraderie" that will help its members be successful in the legal profession. Phi Alpha Delta has a lot to offer. They provide continuing legal education, scholarships, and networking opportunities for law students and undergraduate students who join their pre-law chapter.

Phi Alpha Delta is an international organization and therefore has a strong alumni network. Mia Naseer says this organization is important for many reasons. Mia says P.A.D. has "genuine, professional, and loyal members." Plus, there are a lot of perks to joining! Mia has been presented with many professional and employment opportunities through their substantial network. Further, the organization is known for its compassion and showing true "brotherhood/sisterhood" and has won several chapter merit awards here at Capital!

If you missed their awesome interactive Halloween table, don't worry! Check out some of the exciting things Phi Alpha Delta is doing this year:

• They are hosting Bar Review at Bar Louie on Friday November 11th starting at 4:30. This is an event open to 1Ls and members only! Don't forget to RSVP. 
• The group is collecting toiletry donations for the Faith Mission. Faith Mission is a men's shelter located a few blocks from the school, and they could greatly benefit from any small donation. 
• Watch out for Rush week where they will display P.A.D. pride and hand out t-shirts and highlighters. 
• If you are interested in Moot Court, Phi Alpha Delta has a team!

Mia's advice for 1Ls and incoming students is to always be yourself, you get out of something what you put into something, and to join organizations you feel passionate about and have time to dedicate to! Mia says remember no one will hand you things so work hard, have compassion for others, and work to better yourself and your community. These qualities will take you far!

If you are interested in joining P.A.D. or you would like more information about the group, don't hesitate to ask questions. Contact Mia at mnaseer@law.capital.edu today!
