Lambda Pi Eta

Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the communication honor society sponsored by the National Communication Association with over 500 chapters worldwide. CNU received its charter for the Sigma Kappa Chapter of LPH in 2004 under the leadership of Dr. Michaela Meyer.

Since its inception, Sigma Kappa developed a national as well as campus reputation for promoting the academic study of communication. Sigma Kappa received honor as Rookie Chapter of the Year in 2007 and as Chapter of the Year in 2009 and 2010.
