Eta Sigma Phi is the national honor society for students of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies. The society was founded in 1914 at the University of Chicago under the name Phi Sigma, and became a national society in 1924 under its current name. The purposes of Eta Sigma Phi are to encourage classical scholarship, enhance the appreciation of our Greek and Roman cultural heritage, and to promote good will and friendship among students of the classics.

One of Dickinson's first departmental honor societies, The Delta Theta chapter of Eta Sigma Phi was chartered on April 22, 1964.  Our officers for 2010/11 are: Jessie Graul local President; Laura Takakjy, Vice President;  Matt Morowitz, Treasurer; Ella Haigler, Secretary;  Alice Ettling, Historian; Brendan Boston, Ossifer.
