Welcome to Our District
AHEPA members are proud of the contributions the ancient Greeks gifted to Western Civilization.
As Americans, we share many of the values put forth by them: civic responsibility, philanthropy, education, family and individual excellence, and the ideals of democracy.
This is the essence of our heritage.
This is the core of our mission.

5TH DISTRICT ANNUAL
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
AVAILBLE NOW!

The deadline to apply is April 30th
This past weekend the seventh annual mid Atlantic Hellenic History tournament was hosted by AHEPA chapter 69, Cherry Hill, 5th district, with teams competing from throughout the 5th District and one team from Easter Pennsylvania.
As always, the contestants, in teams of three, came prepared and competed for first place prize of $1,000 per contestant of the winning team, $500 for each member of the second-place team, and an invitation to both first and second place teams to the International Hellenic history tournament to take place at the Supreme Convention this July at Disney World, Orlando, Florida.
It’s always a marvel to see how prepared these students are and how much they know of Greek history from ancient times through the early 20th century. Most adults couldn’t answer 90% of these questions correctly. The teams , however, typically get them right over 80% of the time.
Congratulations to this year‘s winners:
1st place Upper Darby, PA , Liana Krontiris; Nikolaos Krontiris; Yianni Krontiris, a true family affair; and
2nd place Garden State chapter 517 Holmdel, Helen Domashinski, Sophia Galiano; Amanda Cawley.
The district would like to thank all the participants, their parents and supporters, and the Cherry hill chapter for hosting this event. Special thanks to PDG Steven Marmarou for beginning this tradition back in 2015, and continuing to chair it.
Congratulations to all the contestants for their efforts in what turned out to be a very competitive tournament and best wishes to the first and second place teams for success in Orlando.
