Lambda Pi Eta, the official Communication Studies honor society of the National Communication Association, is named for the three components of persuasion that Aristotle described in his book, Rhetoric. These three components are the following: Logos (Lambda) meaning logic, Pathos (Pi) relating to emotion and Ethos (Eta) defined as character credibility and ethics represent the key components of communication study.
The goals of this organization 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.
Lambda Pi Eta has over 240 chapters at colleges and universities worldwide. The Bridgewater College Chapter has
12 members and continues to grow and develop. For more information please contact
Dr. Melanie K. Laliker, the advisor, or visit the Lambda Pi Eta home page.
