Eta Sigma Phi goes to Austin! 

Seven members of the Dickinson chapter of Eta Sigma Phi attended the national convention in Austin, TX this year – and had a fabulous time! 

We did all sorts of things:  fielded a couple of teams in the certamen – a battle of Latin and Greek wits – and saw the Sanguis Tigris team advance as far as the semi-finals; walked blocks and blocks to find an Austin landmark burger-joint, Dirty Martins Kum-Bak Place; heard what other chapters are up to on other campuses around the country; listened to three excellent papers – on Sicily, Augustine, and Horace’s friendship with Vergil; and even heard a rivetting rock opera on the Peloponnesian War by Athens v. Sparta.  The weather was perfect, idyllic, gorgeous … Austin immediately drew us all in with its abundant, student-friendly exuberance … no-one really wanted to leave … but here we are, back in Carlisle, and inspired to do new and fantastic things!
