Classical Society

From the UNCG directory, Sep 7, 2026

“Philosophia kai hetaireia” is the Greek motto of the UNCG Classical Society. Philosophia, coming from the stems philos, or "love," and sophia, "wisdom," is a word that means a "love of knowledge."Hetaireia comes from the word hetairos, meaning "comrade" or "disciple," and best translates to something like "brotherhood". To that end, the mission of the Classical Society can be described as “the promotion of knowledge and appreciation of the Greco-Roman world and the creation of strong bonds of camaraderie between its members”. The Classical Society hosts several recreational and outreach events each year in the name of promoting Classics within the Greensboro and North Carolina communities and also hosts weekly meetings throughout the academic year, open to members of the UNC Greensboro community. All are welcome.
