Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society

Lambda Pi Eta is the official communication studies honor society of the
National Communication Association (NCA).

Formed in 1988, the Lynchburg College Epsilon chapter was the fourth chapter chartered in the United States. There are now more than 400 active chapters at colleges and universities worldwide.

The name Lambda Pi Eta is taken from Aristotle's book, Rhetoric. Each Greek letter represents the three ingredients of persuasion--logos, pathos, and ethos.

Invitation for membership requires a junior or senior major in communication studies to achieve at least a 3.0 overall grade point average and a minimum 3.5 GPA in at least 12 hours of major courses.

At the Induction Ceremony and Banquet held each spring, members receive a certificate and pin from the National Communication Association. Seniors are presented with gold honor cords to be worn at Commencement.

Goals of Lambda Pi Eta are: (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. Lambda Pi Eta members are active throughout the year sponsoring or assisting with campus events. LPH Table at the Majors Fair
