  • History of Eta Sigma Phi by Dr. Brent Froberg
    A SHORT HISTORY OF ETA SIGMA PHI, THE NATIONAL CLASSICAL HONORARY by Brent M. Froberg A Short History of Eta Sigma Phi National Classical Honorary Fraternity This first history of Eta Sigma Phi fittingly appears in a publication dedicated to Professor Emerita Bernice Fox, honorary trustee of Eta Sigma Phi, and founder in 1956 of Gamma Omicron Chapter. During her long tenure as its adviser, Gamma Omicron Chapter promoted scholarship and camaraderie among its students of Latin and Greek at Monmouth College. Nationally, Gamma Omicron achieved a level of involvement seldom matched by any other chapter. A list of Gamma Omicron members who have held national office appears in Appendix I. Someday a history larger than this present survey will appear. The purpose here is to bring forth the highlights of Eta Sigma Phi's seventy-seven year history and to present some pictures from the archives of Eta Sigma Phi. For many readers the people pictured in these pages will be, "writ in remembrance more than things long past." In autumn, 1914, some students in the University of Chicago's Department of Greek organized themselves as an undergraduate classical club which they named Phi Sigma. This organization continued for ten years with a membership consisting of students of Latin and of Greek. When Phi Sigma formed a union in 1924 with a society already existing at Northwestern University, Eta Sigma Phi became a national fraternity. In 1927, Eta Sigma Phi was incorporated under the charitable trust laws of the state of Illinois. Delegates to the national convention annually elect students to the Fraternity's offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer.
