Lambda Pi Eta
National Communication Association Honor Society
Dear Student:
Lambda Pi Eta is the official communication studies honor society of the National Communication Association (NCA). As an accredited member of the Association of College Honor Societies, Lambda Pi Eta has over 250 active chapters at colleges and universities worldwide.
Lambda Pi Eta represents what Aristotle described in his book, Rhetoric, as the three proofs of persuasion: Logos (Lambda) meaning logic; Pathos (Pi) relating to emotion; and Ethos (Eta) defined as character credibility and ethics. The Baylor chapter of Lambda Pi Eta was officially chartered in July of 2000, and is open to all students in communication studies who are working on either a major or minor in the discipline in either speech communication or telecommunication.
The goals of Lambda Pi Eta are to:
Recognize, foster, and reward outstanding scholastic achievement
Stimulate interest in the field of communication
Promote and encourage professional development among communication majors
Provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas about the field of communication
Establish and maintain close relationships and understanding between faculty and students
To explore options for further graduate studies in communication
