Lambda Pi Eta at University of Idaho

The University of Idaho Communication Program runs the local chapter of Lambda Pi Eta, a nationally recognized honor society that supports and connects our students. As a member of Lambda Pi Eta, you will have the opportunity to meet with peers to discuss issues relevant to the UI Community; organizing guest speakers, running student-oriented workshops, or hosting social events are some typical events put on by Lambda Pi Eta. Chapter meetings occur roughly once per month, and anyone interested is welcome to attend!

What is the Lambda Pi Eta honor society?

Lambda Pi Eta is an international honor society in Communication. The name Lambda Pi Eta represents the first letters of what Aristotle described in Rhetoric as the three modes of persuasion:  logos, pathos, and ethos.
