Indeed it is noteworthy, that the Greeks of Chicago are distinguished for their desire to organize, and their determination to unite the Greek elements, although under different aspects, under our roof, named Greek Unity. The plethora of Greek societies is attributed to that.

The Cloister, of the Daughters of Penelope, "Hellas" made its manifestation two years ago, with the avowed purpose of uniting all the Greek ladies under our organization and under one guidance.

The activities of this society are directed towards our Greek Schools in all communities in the City of Chicago. The proceeds, of the numerous dance banquets, given by the society, are destributed to every school, according to its needs. Thus, we add one more ring to the chain of Greek Societies making the chain stronger and stronger for the unity of the Greeks.
