Alex Acaro Inducted into Lamba Pi Eta Honor Society

2016 May 13

Alex Acaro was inducted into Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society.

Juniors and seniors who demonstrated academic excellence in communication-related fields were inducted in the Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society on Sunday, May 8, at a Mother's Day brunch at the College Terrace.

Lambda Pi Eta has active chapters at four-year colleges and universities worldwide. Honor society sponsor Donna Flayhan, an associate professor of communication, told attendees that the letters Lambda Pi Eta reference the three elements of persuasion defined by Aristotle in The Rhetoric: (Lambda) logos or logic; (Pi) pathos or emotion; and (Eta) ethos, ethics. Membership in the New Paltz chapter of the honor society requires students to obtain a minimum overall GPA of 3.25 and a 3.5 GPA within their major.
