The new class of initiates of Delta Chi at St. Olaf College

Phi bulletin board. It was our way to say thank you to our wonderful faculty! There were a number of Eta Sigma Phi members that participated in a study-abroad trip "Sacred Sites in Greece," which included student presentations of research at sites on the trip. One of these students, as well as other Eta Sigma Phi members, presented papers at the Truman State University Undergraduate Research Symposium and/or at the Classics Capstone Symposium. Jessica Stephens spoke on the priestess at Delphi, Sean Larson on Platonic attitudes towards rhetoric, and Julia Thoele on the pseudo-Seneca tragedy Octavia. Eta Sigma Phi students also led sessions on Latin and Greek for regional high-school students at Truman's Foreign Language Festival. Other highlights included a game night in April, when we played Conspirators—a twist 

on the old Mafia game. The following month, faculty members and students met to read through Plautus' Miles Gloriosus. And finally, we topped the year off with our induction of new members and the annual dinner banquet. Our new inductees include Jason Evans, Elizabeth Higgins, Andrew McGinnis, Michelle Adkins, Kelly Devine, and Kyla Richtman. Congratulations to our graduates—Julia Thoele, R.C. Smith, Sean Larson, Michelle Adkins, Andrew McGinnis, and Eric Jennings.

Eta Pi (Hobart and William Smith Colleges). Debbie Felton, assistant professor of Classics at the University of Massachusetts and adviser of the Epsilon Omicron chapter there, participated in the installation ceremonies for the new Eta Pi chapter at Hobart and William Smith. 

 Professor Felton delivered the first annual Eta Sigma Phi address in conjunction with the Classics Department's "Ghosts in Togas" lecture series, speaking on "Ancient Werewolves and Shapeshifters" to an enthusiastic audience who came from as far away as Rochester.
