Hello, hello!
Welcome to the blog for Lambda Pi Eta (LPH), Sigma Phi at California State University Los Angeles.
My name is Savannah and I am the Scholastic Officer of the 2009/2010 school year. I will be your humble narrator with insight as to who we are and how you can be a part of it.
What is Lambda Pi Eta?
Lambda Phi Eta is the official communication studies honor society of the National Communication Association (NCA). The Greek letters Lambda Pi Eta represent Aristotle's teachings in his book, Rhetoric. The three ingredients of persuasion are: Logos (Lambda) meaning logic, Pathos (Pi) concerning emotion, and Ethos (Eta) which is character and ethics.

"Our mission is 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, and to establish and maintain closer relationships and mutual understanding between speech communication studies faculty and students."

Lambda Pi Eta is the official communication studies honor society of the National Communication Association (NCA). LPH was founded in 1985 at the University of Arkansas. LPH became a part of the NCA in 1988, and the official honor society of the NCA 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.
