Eta Sigma Phi, or HSF, is the national honor society of students of Latin and Greek in colleges and universities. The purposes of the organization 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.” Every year, students who have shown exceptional scholarship in Latin and Greek are inducted into the society. Among the great opportunities Eta Sigma Phi offers nationwide are a translation contest, an annual spring convention, and summer scholarship opportunities. In addition, our chapter of Eta Sigma Phi plans to enliven the year with various events.
