Pi Kappa Lambda (ΠΚΛ) is an American honor society for undergraduate students, graduate students, and professors of music. There are over 200 chapters nationally; a complete roster of current chapters is listed in the organization's official web site. The Society is governed by a Board of Regents; President Tayloe Harding (University of South Carolina School of Music), Vice President Mark Reimer (Christopher Newport University Department of Music); and an Executive Director, Mark Lochstampfor. The National Office is currently located in Columbus, OH on the Capital University campus. [1]

History

Pi Kappa Lambda was established on May 17, 1918 at the Northwestern University by Carl Milton Beecher, Louis Norton Dodge, and Walter Allen Stults.[1] The first member was Peter Christian Lutkin, Dean of the School of Music at Northwestern University, and the Greek letters chosen for the name of the society were based on his initials.[1]

Pi Kappa Lambda joined the Association of College Honor Societies in 1940.[2] Its current national headquarters are located at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio.[1]

Activities

The society is dedicated to the promotion of music education in institutions of higher learning. It selects and honors men and women at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels who have demonstrated superior musical and academic achievement at the institutions where the society maintains chapters.[3]

It holds an annual national convention in even-numbered years, sometimes in conjunction with other organizations.[4]

It also sponsors the publication of a series of monographs on American music, grants scholarships and certificates of honor to outstanding freshmen and sophomore students, holds composition contests, and provides other services in its program of activities.[3]
