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. SUGS elects its 2025 Committee with aspirations of instilling a cultural focus. The Annual General Meeting of the Society took place on Wednesday 12 March 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,” he 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.”
The SUGS president, who has previously served as a First Year Representative and Modern
Greek Department Liaison, added that they “seek 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.”
