ETA SIGMA PHI

Eta Sigma Phi is the national honorary collegiate society for students of Latin and/or Greek. Members are elected by local chapters which have been chartered by the national Society. The purposes of the Society, in the words of its Constitution, are "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."

The UGA chapter of Eta Sigma welcomes all students in good academic standing with an interest in classical languages and culture to be a part of our honor society. We are involved in classical activities and lectures on campus and promote fellowship between students and professors. Our chapter also strives to have a positive impact on our community through a variety of service activities.

Eta Sigma Phi wrapped up the fall 2008 semester with bouts of food, fun, frivolity and also a department-wide food and goods drive for the Athens Area Homeless Shelter.

Spring 2009 looks promising as Eta Sigma Phi anticipates participation in the annual Athenaze celebration, as well as numerous other events to be announced.
