The Scottish Hellenic Society

 

Welcome to the Scottish Hellenic Society of St Andrews

The Scottish-Hellenic Society exists to bring together Scottish and Greek people. Throughout each academic year members have the chance to attend a variety of events with Greek themes, including academic talks, parties, and food tasting.

Membership rates are £5 for students, £12 for all others, and cover admission to all the society's events during the year, which usually include wine and other refreshments. To join the Society, come to the opening party on 20 October, or contact Carmen Cvetković (cac59@st-andrews.ac.uk).
