    • Social media or website recognition

  • The idea behind the It’s All Greek To Me Directory is simple: to create a meaningful way to share who we are and to show just how strong, connected, and deep our community truly is.

    Our Greek community is made up of so much more than just names—we are business owners, creatives, professionals, makers, artisans and supporters who show up for one another. This directory is a way to bring us all together in one place with no ulterior motive, making it easier to get to know one another and support each other and to celebrate the breadth of talent and passion within our community.

    It’s also about visibility. When people flip through the directory—whether at the Glenti, at a future event or online—I want them to see how vibrant and far-reaching our community is. Not just during one night of celebration, but all year long.

    You don’t have to be “fully Greek” to be included. If you’re Greek, Greek-ish, married into the culture, raised around it or simply someone who supports and loves the Greek community, you belong here. Our community has always been built on connection, inclusion, and shared pride—and this directory reflects that. This isn’t about profit. It’s about community, connection and creating something lasting that we can continue to grow and share together.

  • Absolutely! It would be our honor to bring in anyone interested in our culture to join us! We are inclusive for all and everyone is welcome—Greek or not. Many attendees and volunteers have no Greek background and come simply to enjoy the food, music, dancing and community! We also want to share our culture with everyone to have all learn what it means to us to be Greek.
