On April 13, 1994, the Eta Upsilon Chapter ofÌýÌýwas chartered to 51Ç鱨վ. Since the aim of the educative process is the stimulation of the student toward the highest level of achievement within his or her capabilities, outstanding accomplishment should be accorded particular recognition. In an attempt to provide such recognition, the Alumni Association of the School of Music at Northwestern University in 1916 appointed a committee to consider the feasibility of installing an honor society in the field of music. As a result of the committee's labors, Pi Kappa Lambda was granted a charter by the State of Illinois in 1918. The first member was Peter Christian Lutkin, Dean of the School of Music at Northwestern University. His initials in their Greek equivalents were selected for the name of the society:ÌýPi Kappa Lambda.ÌýElection to membership in Pi Kappa Lambda has been indicative of superior attainment in music, together with the personal qualifications pertaining to an outstanding exponent of the art.ÌýDr. Klein, president,ÌýDr. Nedvin, secretary,ÌýDr. Hall,Ìýtreasurer.
