2008 Tragos Quest to Greece





























From June 20th-29th, I was in Greece on the Tragos Quest to Greece, which is a 10 day journey put on by the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity's Educational Foundation for 16 undergraduates nationwide each year. We visited ancient sites in Athens, Delphi, Olympia and many other places, climbed Mt. Parnassus, gave oratorical presentations from ancient works, enjoyed an ancient meal and discussed some reading from antiquity. The sites of Greece are incredible and the guys that I went with (along with the mentors who went with us) were great to be around and we made some good friendships.
If you ever have the opportunity to visit Greece, I would highly recommend it. The hyperlink is to a site with hundreds of other pictures from the trip.

Mike nice pictures but I don't see any girls in a red dress like your brother use to go vacationing with. I have some reffing shirts and a coat if you want it..... Nice pictures.......

The shirts and coat will be great.

Yeah, we don't have any girls in our fraternity but there may have been a few misadventures while we were in Europe.
