12 new members: Victoria Cacchione, Margot Cardamone, Emily Lawrence, Lucy McInerney, Chloe Miller, Will Morisseau, Katy Purington, Solai Sanchez, Andy Shoemaker, Chuck Steel, Nick Stender, and Sarah Winner were initiated recently into Dickinson's chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, the Classics honor society http://www.etasigmaphi.com.

The ceremony took place in Memorial Hall. Current members and department faculty joined the new initiates for cake after the ceremony. 

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 relationships among students who are interested in classical study, including inter-campus relationships; to engage generally in an effort to stimulate interest in classical study, and in the history, art, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome."

Dickinson's chapter is an active one, with upwards of 40 members, led this year by senior classics majors Jessie Graul, Daniella Haigler, Alice Ettling, and juniors James Martin and Suri Smith.
