About

Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the National Communication Association's official honor society at four-year colleges and universities. LPH represents what Aristotle described in The Rhetoric as three ingredients of persuasion:

• Logos (Lambda), meaning logic.
• Pathos (Pi), relating to emotion.
• Ethos (Eta), defined as character credibility and ethics.

Lambda Pi Eta recognizes, fosters, and rewards outstanding scholastic achievement while stimulating interest in the communication discipline.
