The Classics Club hosts movie nights, reading marathons, road trips to lectures and conferences, the annual Saturnalia and Bacchanalia parties, and the annual Classics t-shirts.

The club also engages in service and outreach including participation in Virginia's Senior and Junior Classical League. Students also have worked with Governor's Latin Academy, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg High School, and local elementary schools.
