Communications Honor Society

Eta Eta is the John Carroll chapter of Lambda Pi Eta.  Lambda Pi Eta is the official communications students honorary of the National Communication Association (NCA) and is an accredited member of the Association of College Honor Societies.

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.

The goals of Lambda Pi Eta 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.

To be eligible for membership in Eta Eta, the JCU chapter, students must have:

  • Completed at least 60 hours,
