Eta Sigma Phi welcomes the members of its newest chapter
Iota Epsilon at Villanova University!
 

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 society. The purposes of the Society, in the words of the 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."


Note: The streaming music you hear is "The Song for Eta Sigma Phi."
Here are the lyrics in English and Latin in case you would like to sing along:

Bearing beauty’s flame
Bending our hearts to your name
Your ancient splendor we cherish now.
Youthful dreams tell us how.
Students look to your light,
A beauty ever bright.
Our loyalty we pledge to you,
Eta Sigma Phi.

Lumen qui ferimus.
Animos tibi damus.
Antiquum tuum tibi placet.
Hoc spes nostra docet.
Spectant te iuvenes.
O lumen semper des.
Fidem servabimus tibi.
Eta Sigma Phi.

The people who have visited this site since January, 2006,
wish the world still spoke in Latin and ancient Greek.
