Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the official communication studies honor society of the National
Communication Association (NCA). Lambda Pi Eta has over 400 active chapters at four-year
colleges and universities worldwide. It was founded in 1985 at the University of Arkansas and
became a part of the National Communication Association (NCA) in 1988. Lambda Pi Eta
became the official honor society of the NCA in July 1995.
LPH represents what Aristotle described in his book, Rhetoric, as the three ingredients of
persuasion: Logos (Lambda) meaning logic, Pathos (Pi) relating to emotion, and Ethos (Eta)
defined as character credibility and ethics.
Goals of Lambda Pi Eta:
(1) Recognize, foster and reward outstanding scholastic achievement in communication studies
(2) Stimulate interest in the field of communication
(3) Promote and encourage professional development among communication majors
(4) Provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas in the field of communication
(5) Establish and maintain closer relationships between faculty and students
(6) Explore options for graduate education in communication studies
LPH is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) whose mission is to
build a visibly cohesive community of national and international honor societies, individually and
collaboratively exhibiting excellence in scholarship, service, programs, and governance.
