• I took Latin and/or Ancient Greek in High School? Does that mean I'm eligible for ESP?
  

  Unfortunately, enrollment in High School courses of Latin/Greek do not count toward admittance into Eta Sigma Phi. At least one course in Greek/Latin must be taken (with an average grade of B or better) at the University of Michigan to fulfill this requirement.

• I took Latin and/or Ancient Greek at another college or university? Does that mean I'm eligible for ESP here at Michigan?
  

  Just like students who have taken Latin/Ancient Greek in high school, students must have completed at least one course in a classical language at U-M (with an average grade of B or better). If, however, you were a member of Eta Sigma Phi at your former college and wish to transfer your membership to U-M, please contact the current Alpha Eta Chapter Grammateus who will make sure the proper paperwork is completed and filed with ESP national.

• Do students of Modern Greek qualify for ESP?
  

  No. Although the Modern Greek program is an integral part of the U-M Classics Department, Eta Sigma Phi (as part of a National Organization) is for students of ANCIENT Greek/Latin only. But thanks for your interest!

• What is the minimum GPA for admission? Is that only in Latin/Ancient Greek courses?

  Eta Sigma Phi national sets 3.0 GPA as the minimum for acceptance into Eta Sigma Phi, and U-M keeps this requirement. This GPA is the average of a student's Latin/Ancient Greek Language courses: it does not include Archaeology, Civilization, or any other type of class, Classical or otherwise

• How much is the membership fee? Is it a one-time fee?

Dues to Eta Sigma Phi are one-time, required upon induction, and currently are $20 (February 2006). U-M's Alpha Eta chapter does not charge any additional fees.

• What does Eta Sigma Phi stand for?

Eta Sigma Phi is an acronym for , "The Society of Lovers of the Greek Tradition". Eta Sigma Phi, however, is also full of 'phil-Latinists', so whatever your classical language, you'll find a home in Eta Sigma Phi!

• What does the Eta Sigma Phi motto mean?

If you want to know what means, perhaps you should join!
