The Tragos Quest to Greece is an intense, ten day, journey through ancient Greece in search of SigEp's foundation. During the Quest, you will discuss the Socratic method of teaching in the Agora where Socrates taught, compete in the original Olympic stadium, and study the ritual in Delphi after learning about the Mysteries of Eleusis. The Quest is an exhausting personal and educational experience that will challenge you intellectually, physically and emotionally.

This year, the Tragos Quest to Greece will take place June 20th-29th. Sixteen scholarships will be awarded to the most deserving sophomore and junior brothers. Although chapter leadership positions are important to the application, no specific SigEp, campus or community involvement is required. Interested brothers must complete the online application form. This includes three references and a recent photo. Applications must be received by December 1, 2007. Only online applications will be accepted. The 2008 Tragos Quest to Greece Ambassadors will be announced in February at their respective regional Carlson Leadership Academies.

International flights, tours, hotels, local transportation, and most meals will be covered by a generous grant from the SigEp Educational Foundation. Participants will be responsible for getting themselves to and from Chicago and incidental expenses. Participants should budget at least $400 for personal expenses in Greece.

This unique experience is made possible through the generosity of Bill and Lilli Tragos. Their endowment allows for the continued emphasis on classic Greek philosophy, centered on the Balanced Man Ideal of developing a Sound Mind and Sound Body. Brother Tragos and his wife Lilli's gift will benefit SigEp and its brothers for years to come.
