Eta Sigma Phi (ΗΣΦ) is a College
honor society
which grew out of a local undergraduate classical club founded by a group of students in the Department of Greek at the University of Chicago
in 1914. This organization later united with a similar organization at Northwestern University
and became Phi Sigma. Phi Sigma was nationalized in 1924, and chapters were organized at leading colleges and universities.http://louisville.edu/a-s/cml/classic/EtaSigmaPhi.htm
On May 14, 1927, it became Eta Sigma Phi, the National Honorary Classical Fraternity, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois.
