Lambda Pi Eta
The Communication Honor Society
About
Lambda Pi Eta, University of Maryland's Pi Chapter, is a nationally recognized communication honor society for Communication Majors.  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 (ACHS), Lambda Pi Eta has nearly 300 active chapters at colleges and universities worldwide.

Lambda Pi Eta was founded in 1985 at the University of Arkansas.  Lambda Pi Eta became a part of the National Communication Association (NCA) in 1988, and the official honor society of the NCA in July 1995.

Lambda Pi Eta 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.

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;
- establish and maintain close relationships and                 understanding between faculty and students; and
- explore options for further graduate studies.
