The Tragos Quest to Greece changes the way brothers view the world, their Fraternity, and themselves. Guided by alumni mentors and a professional trained in the Classics, Tragos Quest to Greece Scholars study the influence that Greek philosophy, governance, and the arts have and continue to have in everyday life. Brothers explore Greek culture and reflect upon the origins of SigEp’s values and the Balanced Man ideal.

The program includes visits to ancient historical sites such as Athens, Delphi, Nauplion, Corinth, Mycenae and Olympia. Brothers explore the foundations of the fraternal world, experience SigEp’s ritual in a new light, and study the philosophies of Socrates and Aristotle while walking the same streets where those great minds taught.

The Tragos Quest study abroad experience is unprecedented and unmatched in the fraternity world. The program is named for and made possible by a generous gift from Past Grand President William G. Tragos, Washington in St. Louis ’56, and his wife, Lilli. Due to the Tragos’ generosity, SigEp provides this experience almost free of charge to the selected undergraduate scholars.

The 2026 program dates will be announced later this fall, but will take place in either mid/late June or early July. Applications for the upcoming Quest on mySigEp are due by October 19th!
