ETA RHO

The purposes of Eta Sigma Phi, the national Classics honorary society, 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.  Members are elected by local chapters which have been chartered by the society.  Most members are undergraduates, but chapters can also initiate graduate students, faculty, and honorees.  There are more than 180 chapters of Eta Sigma Phi throughout the United States.
