Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society

Lambda Pi Eta, Omicron Pi Chapter, is an honor society for University of Wyoming Communication and Journalism majors. Members get an opportunity to network with others in the communication field, learn more about their department and faculty, and attend the annual conference of the National Communication Association.

Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the National Communication Association’s official honor society at four-year colleges and universities. LPH has more than 500 active chapters at four-year colleges and universities nationwide. LPH became a part of the National Communication Association in 1988, and the association's official honor society in July 1995. It is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS).

LPH represents what Aristotle described in Rhetoric as three ingredients of persuasion: logos (Lambda), meaning logic; pathos (Pi), relating to emotion; and ethos (Eta), defined as character credibility and ethics.
