Overview

The Loyola College Advertising Club is affiliated with the American Advertising Federation (AAF). There are 210 affiliated chapters throughout the United States and abroad. The program includes 6,800 undergraduate student members and more than 350 faculty advisers.

AAF provides numerous programs to guide its college students through advertising curriculum and job placement. AAF's programs include the following:

• More than 1,000 internship opportunities

• Networking with top agency and corporate recruiters.

AAF's National Student Advertising Competition is the premier college advertising competition. It provides more than 3,000 college students with "real-world" experience by requiring a strategic advertising/marketing/media campaign for a corporate sponsor. Sixteen schools are selected to present their campaigns to a panel of industry executives at the AAF National Conference. Loyola College has been participating in the NSAC since 1993. Loyola's Advertising Club won 2nd Place in the NSAC District II competition in 2004.

Alpha Delta Sigma Honorary Society

Loyola College’s chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma (ADS), a national honorary society sponsored by AAF, recognizes and encourages scholastic achievement in advertising studies. To be eligible, student nominees must be a dues-paying member of an AAF college chapter, have achieved senior status on or before the nomination due date and have completed at least two senior- or junior-level advertising courses, and have a minimum GPA of 3.25 (on a 4.0 scale) in all advertising studies and all other courses.

History of Alpha Delta Sigma Honorary Society

The organization dates back to 1913 when the fraternity was founded at the University of Missouri. In 1969, ADS merged with Gamma Alpha Chi, a similar organization for women. Later, in 1973, ADS merged with the American Advertising Federation. ADS is the only national, professional advertising honorary society in American higher education. Each year hundreds of students from AAF college chapters are nominated and inducted into Alpha Delta Sigma.
