Greco-Roman Club Night

On Thursday February 5, 2015, The Greek Students’ Association collaborated with the Italian Canadian Association (UTICA) to create an unforgettable club night. The event was hosted at Tequila Jacks where members of both organizations came together to relieve the stress of school work, relax and enjoy a drink or two. We had over 120 kids come out! It was amazing to see everyone enjoy themselves before the midterms kicked into full gear.

There was dancing, singing, and schmoozing involved with two of the best looking clubs on campus. Greco-Roman night was a complete success and we look forward to even more collaborations in the future.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us as well as the executives and directors who made the night possible.

Check out UTICA on their Facebook page!

See you all in Montreal for our annual trip! Let’s make this reading week a memorable one!

Conversation Club

This past Thursday the directors of the GSA hosted the second Greek “Conversation Club” of the year. The event was held in the GSA office at 21 Sussex from 1 pm to 3 pm and was well attended by members and Greek language learners of all levels. We had a great time speaking Greek, and listening to (and singing) Greek music. We also had delicious sweets! There were Loukoumades from Athens Bakery, baklava and chocolates from Serano, and φραπέδες (frappe coffees) for all à la GSA. Discussion ranged from school & work to relationships, and there were plenty of laughs involved. Students from the Modern Greek language class were also able to practice their vocabulary for the test they had in class next day. The second “Convo Club” was a great success and we look forward to hosting more in the coming weeks!

Conversation Club

The GSA will be hosting its first “Conversation Club” of 2015!

Date: Thursday, January 15, 2015 
Time: 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm 
Place: 21 Sussex Clubhouse, 4th Floor In The Lounge

The goal of the day is to have a chance to practice speaking Greek with friends and peers. We will lead introductions, and discussion of various topics in Greek. This is an excellent way to build confidence in Greek—ideal for students in the Modern Greek course -especially to prepare for the upcoming midterm- and Greek speakers of all levels. To top it off, pizza, coffee, and healthy snacks will be served!

See you all there!
