Sons of Pericles
Brooklyn Odysseus Chapter 219: the next generation of Hellenic leaders, growing alongside AHEPA Brooklyn Chapter 41.
The Sons of Pericles is the junior order of AHEPA, dedicated to training young men of Hellenic heritage in the principles of AHEPA, promoting education, philanthropy, civic responsibility, and family values among the next generation of Greek American leaders.
Brooklyn Odysseus Chapter 219 works alongside AHEPA Brooklyn Chapter 41 to engage young men in our community, develop leadership skills, and build lasting bonds through service and Hellenic culture.
Χρώμεθα γὰρ πολιτείᾳ οὐ ζηλούσῃ τοὺς τῶν πέλας νόμους, παράδειγμα δὲ μᾶλλον αὐτοὶ ὄντες τισὶν ἢ μιμούμενοι ἑτέρους.
“Our constitution does not copy the laws of our neighbors; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators ourselves.”
Pericles, Funeral Oration · Thucydides 2.37
