Pi Kappa Lambda

Pi Kappa Lambda is the national honor society for music, with over 200 chapters and 64,000 members. Founded in 1918, Pi Kappa Lambda is dedicated to the fostering of scholarly interest in the theoretical and historical aspects of music, and to the pursuit of eminent achievement in performance, composition, music education, music therapy, and research.

The primary purpose of Pi Kappa Lambda is to recognize the highest levels of academic scholarship and musical achievement. The Kappa Nu chapter was established at Molloy University in 2013. Nominees for Pi Kappa Lambda are elected by a committee of music faculty members. Eligible music majors must be in residence at Molloy for at least four semesters, demonstrating outstanding scholarship and musicianship. Juniors who rank in the top 10% of their class and seniors who rank in the top 20% of their class who meet all requirements will be considered for membership.
