The gazebo-like monument in Greek Plaza at Hampton University, a historically black university in Hampton, Virginia, one of the state’s Tidewater-region cities at the place where the James River, Chesapeake Bay, and Atlantic Ocean converge. The “Greek” reference pertains not to a European nation or language but to the campus’s fraternal organizations, which, as at most U.S. colleges, take on Greek names and symbols, such as Kappa Alpha Psi and its appropriate Greek letters.
