Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the National Communication Association’s official honor society at four-year colleges and universities. Niagara University’s chapter, Omicron Iota, is committed to service in the department, the university, the larger community, and the communication discipline. As an accredited member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), Lambda Pi Eta has active chapters at four-year colleges and universities worldwide.

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.
