Pi Kappa Lambda
National Music Honor Society

Pi Kappa Lambda was organized in 1918 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

The primary objective of Pi Kappa Lambda is the recognition and encouragement of the highest level of musical achievement and academic scholarship. The Society is convinced that, by recognizing and honoring persons who have enhanced their talents by serious, diligent, and intelligent study, others will be stimulated to do the same.

Pi Kappa Lambda has local chapters in more than 200 colleges and universities throughout the United States.
