A Message from the Sons National Advisor

Chris J. Economides, Jr., Sons National Advisor

Dear Brothers, Family and Friends of AHEPA:

It was with great pride at the recent AHEPA Family Board meetings in Washington, that I was able to present to our Family leadership the newly elected Supreme Lodge and District Governors of the Sons of Pericles. They are a smart and dedicated group who I believe will make a great mark on our organization.

I was also proud to announce a new membership policy we hope will strengthen the bond of brotherhood as our young men transition into the Order of AHEPA.

Starting this year, membership in the Sons of Pericles for ages 14-17 is absolutely free! Please encourage your sons to start their memberships today.

Further, for Sons ages 18-27, their annual $40 membership fee will also gain them dual-membership into the Order of AHEPA!

This is not only a great incentive for our young men to get involved, but a great way for our Order to guide our Sons into full brotherhood.

Please talk with the young men in your family and community, and make sure they know about this terrific deal.

Fraternally,

Chris J. Economides, Jr., Sons National Advisor
