CHICAGO – An educational program for our youth, AHEPA’s Hellenic History Tournament is expanding to include even more chapters and regions. The 3rd annual Chicago regional competition of the AHEPA Hellenic History Tournament was held at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law, on Saturday, Mar. 11.
The competition featured 30 high-school aged students participating in a Jeopardy-style tournament that quizzes participants on Hellenic history. The tournament is a one-day event with high school students competing on teams of three sponsored by their local AHEPA chapters.
Teams compete in a head-to-head competition. Multiple choice questions are displayed on a projector screen and read by a moderator. The questions, drawn from materials provided to all students upon registration, covers Ancient, Middle, and Modern Greek history. Teams advance based on answering the most questions correctly with the team winning the final round receiving a $3,000 scholarship prize ($1,000 per student on the team) and the second place team receiving $1,500 ($500 per student). The participating students commit substantial time and energy to learn about Hellenic history and ancestors.
