Started by a young Greek-American, Deano Kastis, United Greek Americans (UGA) has emerged into a very popular organization for youth of Hellenic descent in the United States.
The Organization will be staging its second UGA party of the year in Chicago on Labor Day weekend, bringing together young Greek-Americans from all over the country for an incredible three days of food, fun, music, and dancing!
Besides the good times and unforgettable memories people can look forward to at this year’s Chicago UGA party, greekreporter.com spoke to founder Deano Kastis about another reason people should consider attending – the possibility of forming life-changing connections. As one Greek-American who has attended UGA, Lexi Surunis, said, “I found that the atmosphere at UGA is amazing…everyone is there for similar reasons..we love being Greek, love having fun, and we love celebrating where we come from!”
In fact, this atmosphere is part of the reason Deano thought about creating United Greek-Americans in the first place. “So many of our parents and our grandparents, I hear the stories of how they met at different Greek events here in the states; those kinds of get-togethers have decreased significantly and are attended only by older crowds, so it’s become tougher for people to meet other Greek-Americans in that way.”
