Eta Sigma Phi
National Classics Honor Society
Theta Omega Chapter
John Carroll University
The purposes of Eta Sigma Phi are to develop and promote interest in classical study among students of colleges and universities; to promote closer fraternal relationship among students who are interested in classical study, and to stimulate interest in classical study, and in the history, art, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome. The national organization sponsors an annual convention, scholarships for summer travel and teacher training, and translation exams.
John Carroll established its chapter in 2009, with an induction of fifteen students. We are proud to report that Patrick Neff '10 won two prizes in the 2009 national translation contest: 3rd place in Koine Greek and Honorable Mention in Latin prose composition.
2009 Initiation
Our chapter of Eta Sigma Phi functions also as a Classics club, sponsoring events for classics students during the school year. For Fall '09 we are planning a staged reading of Euripides' Medea.
