originating from Έλλην (Éllēn, “a Greek”)
The emulation of ancient Greek culture, civilization, principles and ideals, including humanism, reason, the pursuit of knowledge, the arts, moderation and civic responsibility.
For over 100 years, we have promoted the ancient Hellenic ideals of education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, family and individual excellence through community service and volunteerism.
Founded in 1922 in Atlanta, Georgia, on the principles that undergirded its fight for civil rights and against discrimination, bigotry, and hatred felt at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, AHEPA is the largest and oldest grassroots association of American citizens of Greek heritage and Philhellenes with more than 400 chapters across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Our Chapter has a history going back to 1928. Within 6 years of the National Organization being formed,
Chapter #175 Bronx was established. Part of our charge is to document the story with its struggles and successes.
More coming soon.
Since our founding, AHEPA has chartered more than 600 chapters worldwide of which more than 400 currently are active and over one million men have been inducted into the Order. AHEPA’s collective donations to charitable and civic causes has reached $1 billion. These contributions to strengthen society are a fine testament to the “can-do” attitude Ahepans bring to each task asked of them.
