Welcome to the Hellenic Society of ODU blog!

2007-08-28T12:52:00.000-04:00

Hi everyone and welcome to the official blog of the Hellenic Society of ODU!

The Hellenic Society is one of the oldest multicultural organizations at ODU.

The mission of the Hellenic Society of ODU is to promote the Hellenic culture and heritage and to educate its members, ODU students, and the Hampton Roads community at large, regarding the various aspects of ancient and modern Greek civilization.

The primary function of the society is to create a meeting ground for its members to interact, socialize, and learn from each other’s experience as Greek students at ODU. As a result, the society has helped and continues to assist new students adjust more smoothly to the demands of college life in the United States, and feel comfortable in the new environment more quickly. Also important to the society is its function as a linking point, or ambassador of Hellenic culture.

The Hellenic Society sponsors numerous Greek Nights throughout the academic year, as well as other events, such as cookouts, where students can try out some real Greek food. In addition, the Society cosponsors the annual Balkan movie festival by showing a Greek movie, participates at major University events, such as Cultural Explosion and Homecoming, and helps the community by taking part in several volunteer events (Light the Night Walk and Relay for Life). Furthermore, the Hellenic Society holds various events concerning Greek and Greek-Cypriot cultural and political matters, such as the Cyprus Problem.

The membership of the society is made up chiefly of students from Greece, Cyprus, and Greek American communities. However, students of all backgrounds are strongly encouraged to join and are warmly welcomed.
