What does Arete mean?

Translated as “virtue,” the word actually means something closer to “excellence,” “being the best you can be,” or “the highest level of fulfillment or achievement.” It is the most articulated value in Greek culture. We have chosen this name to stand for that which our group aspires to every day.
