About Lambda Pi Eta

Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) has over 400 active chapters at four-year colleges and universities worldwide.  LPH was founded in 1985 and became the official honor society of the National Communication Association 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.
