Eta
Sigma Phi is the national honorary collegiate society for students of Latin
and Greek
Let's
start our own chapter and celebrate classics on the ISU campus! This year's
national meeting was hosted by Monmouth College, right here in Illinois!
(Click here
to see the write-up in Nuntius, Eta Sigma Phi's newsletter)
Eta
Sigma Phi also awards annual scholarships to students JUST LIKE YOU for
summer study abroad in Greece or Italy
You can
also run for office in either your local chapter or the national chapter
and gain valuable experience, meet people with similar interests, and
promote the classics wherever you go!
But the
most important reason to create our own Eta Sigma Phi chapter is stated in
the organization's constitution: "to develop and promote interest in classical study among the students of colleges and universities; to
promote closer fraternal relationship among students who are interested in classical study, including inter-campus relationship; to engage generally in an effort to stimulate interest in classical study, and in the history, art, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome."
So let's have some fun!
Potential
activities include:
Classics-related
parties - especially December's Saturnalia and Rome's Birthday party in
April!
film
nights
producing
our own classical theatrical productions
attending
professional productions of classically-related plays, operas, etc.
museum
trips
Roman
banquets
game days
and even
an ISU-sponsored trip to Greece or Rome! (no kidding - it's in the works!)
