The Annual Faculty Auction

Bid on a round of golf with your favorite professor, a wine tasting with the Dean, or tickets to Graceland! These and many more items are auctioned off at a local hot spot with the proceeds befefitting the McKellar Chapter Student Scholarship Fund and the Organ Transplant Fund. The Scholarships are awarded to deserving PAD members.

PAD was the first law fraternity to remove all race, gender, color, creed, and nationality restrictions on membership. Today, McKellar Chapter continues this distinguished tradition by welcoming all law students to take advantage of the distinctive benefits of PAD membership.

Because PAD's goal is to help its members thrive in law school and expand their professional horizons in the legal community, we do not discriminate on the basis of law school class standing.
