About LPH
LPH represents what Aristotle described in The Rhetoric as three ingredients of persuasion: logos (Lambda), meaning logic; pathos (Pi), relating to emotion; and ethos (Eta), defined as character credibility and ethics. Lambda Pi Eta recognizes, fosters, and rewards outstanding scholastic achievement while stimulating interest in the communication discipline.
LPH Tau Pi is a group of Rhetoric & Media Studies majors working together to foster a cohesive and collaborative environment within the major, uphold the goals of Lambda Pi Eta, and put together events that celebrate the rhetorical tradition.
