WHO WE ARE
The Greek Heritage Society of Southern California (GHS) was established in 1985 to preserve the
rich culture, heritage and traditions of Greek immigrants in Southern California. Through its
FLOGA (FLOGA) Project (FLOGA in Greek means FLAME and signifies PASSING THE TORCH from generation
to generation), the Greek Heritage Society
documents the story of early Greek immigrants and
highlights continuing generations. In doing so, it provides the community with an extensive
database of Southern California's rich Greek American history.
GHS is a non-political, non-profit California corporation, in association with the Basil P.
Caloyeras Modern Greek Studies Center at Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles, California)
for educational, literacy and educational purposes.
