The American Hellenic Educational Progressive
Association (AHEPA)
is by far the largest Greek-American organization. Its
scope is
international - with chapters in the United States,
Canada,
Australia and Greece. AHEPA was founded July 26, 1922,
in Atlanta, Georgia, by visionary Americans of Greek
descent
to protect Hellenes from the evils of bigotry and to help
assimilate them into American society in the early 20th
Century.
Although a majority of the membership is composed of
American
of Hellenic descent, application for membership
is open to
everyone who believes in the mission of the organization.
