If you have a strong academic record, you should join the University’s chapter of Lambda Pi Eta National Communication Honor Society. The original chapter of this organization was begun at the University of Arkansas in 1985 under the direction of Dr. Steve Smith and subsequently it was chartered into a national organization, which received the official sanction of the National Communication Association. The name, Lambda Pi Eta, represents the first letters in Greek of the three types of proofs that Aristotle presented in his teaching and writing in Rhetoric: Logos (Lambda) , Pathos (Pi), and Ethos (Eta). Currently, Lambda Pi Eta has over 400 chapter affiliates worldwide.

You may qualify for our chapter if you meet all of the following qualifications:

(1) you have completed 45 hours of course work
(2) you have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0
(3) you have completed nine hours in communication
(4) you have a minimum grade point average of 3.25 in communication courses.

The purposes of the Communication Honor Society are as follows:

To recognize, foster, and reward outstanding scholastic achievement in communication studies;
To stimulate interest in the field of communication;
To promote and encourage professional development among communication majors;
To provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas in the field of communication;
To establish and maintain closer relationships and mutual understanding between speech communication studies faculty and students;
To explore options for graduate education in communication studies.

The Alpha Chapter has served to sponsor distinguished lectures, to host social events for students and faculty, and to raise funds to enable students to travel to present their research at regional and national conferences.

For additional information, contact Dr. Myria Allen or Mrs. Laurie Brady, who can also put you in contact with one of the chapter’s student officers.
