On Friday, April 29, the Mu Alpha chapter of Lambda Pi Eta inducted seven new members. The honor of being inducted into our departmental honorary society is bestowed upon our best and brightest students. The name Lambda Pi Eta is represented by the Greek letters L (lambda), P (pi), and H (eta) symbolizing what Aristotle described in his book Rhetoric as the three modes of persuasion: Logos meaning logic, Pathos relating to emotion, and Ethos defined as character credibility and ethics. The UNT chapter of Lambda Pi Eta emphasizes the importance of scholarship, community, and service.
