The Sydney University Greek Society (SUGS) has elected its 2025-26 committee with its sights set on adding a cultural and intellectual focus to its slate of initiatives planned for the coming term.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Society took place on Wednesday, March 12 at the Susan Wakhil Building with roughly 50 members in attendance.
SUGS’ new president, Argyri Kallos, speaking for and on behalf of the incoming committee, expressed excitement for the upcoming year wherein they hope to build on the efforts from committees past.
“We aim to reinforce the spirit of fun that previous committees have instilled into SUGS, while also focusing heavily on the promotion of culture and intellectual connection to Hellenism and the Greek Australian community,” Mr Kallos said.
“In particular, we are keen on promoting the study of Greek and shedding light on historical and contemporary issues affecting students and the community alike.”
Mr Kallos, who has previously served as a First Year Representative and Modern Greek Department Liaison, added that SUGS “seeks to strengthen the values of solidarity and pride in both our Hellenic identity and society more broadly.”
He noted that another focus is to expand and work with other organisations to further develop on their schedule of initiatives.
“In addition to producing quality events of our own, we are deeply invested in collaborating with the Department of Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies at USYD, our fellow student societies and the wider Greek community,” he said.
The full Committee is:
- President: Argyri Kallos
- Vice President: Maria Kakali
