Lambda Pi Eta (LPE) is an honor society for students in Organizational Communication, Applied Intercultural Communication, and Communication Studies.

Nationally, it was founded in 1985 and became an affiliate of the National Communication Association (NCA) in 1988. The WSU Chapter was chartered in 2005. Lambda Pi Eta provides an opportunity for students to get to know other high achieving students and to explore career possibilities in the communication studies majors. Nonmembers and/or potential future members are welcome at LPE events. Members participate in service learning projects, College of Communication events (including helping with the Murrow Symposium), and other activities. To join LPE you must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for all courses taken, have a communication studies GPA of at least 3.25, and currently be enrolled as a student in good standing.
