1st
Midwest Pan-Hellenic Youth Ball
On
behalf of the whole committee of the Pan Hellenic
Youth Ball, we would like to welcome you to the
first annual Pan Hellenic Youth Ball. The idea
arose many months ago to have an event that would
bring as many of the Greek youth together for a
night of networking, dance, music and fun.
We
could have not made this night a success without
the help of many organizers and sponsors. I would
personally like to give a huge thank you to Mr.
Tomaras and SAE, for their full support and
backing of our efforts and event. Their desire to
help make this event possible is very much
appreciated. In addition to SAE, the Greek
community at large has been very cooperative in
promoting our event. A special thanks goes to Mr.
Rekoumi and the morning Greek Radio station, Mrs.
Kourneta and Mr. Stamatakos with the Hellenic
Heartbeat, Alexa Gannakos with the Greek Circle
Magazine, Enosis, The Greek Star, The Hellenic
Tribune, Perrie Hayes with the Pan Arcadian Youth,
Gus Karahalios from Empress Banquets who has
offered this facility to host this event, and
countless others who have shown that they do care
about the Greek youth and believe in our goals. We
would also like to thank all of our guests
tonight, who took time to come and enjoy this
evening with us.
Our
mission from this dance tonight is to begin to
bridge connections between the various Greek
associations and groups in the Chicagoland area,
and to slowly unite to become one voice, one
entity, that can truly show how strong we will
continue to be as an ethnicity and group in
America. We hope that you find tonight a
pleasurable, and fun experience and may this be
the beginning for future, united endeavors.

American Students Association of DePaul
The
Hellenic American Students Association of DePaul
University is a student-run association that unites
DePaul University affiliates largely of Hellenic
descent.
The
response from the DePaul community to HASA of DePaul
has been extremely supportive. In 2004, the
association was successful in sponsoring and
spearheading its first Modern Greek Language program
at DePaul University which began this academic
school year. Thanks to the efforts of the
association, students interested in Modern Greek and
Hellenism now have the option for a Modern Greek
Minor.
The association is also highly active in sponsoring
social events and gatherings. Every academic
quarter, the club hosts different fun-filled
activities such as Intercollegiate Basketball
Tournaments, Group Outings, Movie Nights, Tavli
Tournaments, and several "Greek Dance
Nights." In addition, the association is very
involved in philanthropy. More than half of the
clubs yearly revenue is filtered back into the Greek
community through various charitable outputs.
HASA of DePaul, now in its third official year, has
38 members. The association is led by the current
executive board President George Logothetis and
board members John Logothetis, Demetri Floudas,
George Trakas, Effie Konstantopoulos, Vicky Trakas,
John Gikas and their Faculty Advisor Dr. Alex
