About Us

Oregon State University is home to the Alpha Beta Theta Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta (LPH), the honor society of the National Communication Association. The purposes of LPH are:

1. To recognize, foster and reward outstanding scholastic achievement in communication studies;

2. To stimulate interest in the field of communication;

3. To promote and encourage professional development among communication majors; and

4. To provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas in the field of communication.

Lambda Pi Eta 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.
