The department traditionally gathers for tea and light snacks in the late afternoon once a week. Tea is organized by the tea tsar or tsarina, a graduate student annually elected by graduate and post-baccalaureate students, and students voluntarily bring food.

The graduate students of the Classics departments at UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University jointly organize a graduate colloquium each year.
