Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society
The Tau Phi Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta was established in 2005 under the direction of R. Tyler Spradley and the student leadership of the chapter president, Stuti Mehta. Lambda Pi Eta is the National Honor Society for the Communication discipline. Students are encouraged to apply for membership. Requirements include:
To qualify for CHAPTER membership, you must meet the following criteria.
- Students must be currently enrolled as a full-time student in good standing with SFA.
- Students must have completed 12 semester hours of undergraduate course work.
- Students must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0.
- Students must have declared their major (undergraduate) as communication (ex. Communication Studies, Journalism or Radio/TV).
- Pay your one-time $20 CHAPTER membership fee.
In addition to the CHAPTER membership criteria above, students must meet the further NATIONAL criteria in order to qualify for NATIONAL membership:
- Students must have completed 60 semester hours in undergraduate credit courses.
- Students must have completed the equivalent of 12 semester hours in courses in the department of communication.
- Students must have a grade point average of at least 3.25 in their communication courses.
- Pay your one-time $30 NATIONAL membership due. NATIONAL members who have not joined as CHAPTER members will be expected to pay the one-time CHAPTER membership due of $20 (see CHAPTER membership).
Graduate students wishing to join must have met the above undergraduate requirements and have graduated from an institution that did not have an active Lambda Pi Eta chapter at the time of their graduation. Students who graduate from SFA as members are encouraged to keep participating.
If you meet the qualifications, we encourage you to join. To join, turn in this membership form, an unofficial transcript, and the appropriate fees and dues based on your membership choice to the Communication Studies Administrative Assistant on the 4th floor of the Liberal Arts North building. Make checks payable to Tau Phi Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta. Your student records will be kept confidential in accordance with the Family Education Right and Privacy Act of 1974.
