Over the weekend of June 5-7, 2026, during our annual Greeks in New York Basketball tournament, the Sons of Pericles logo was displayed in lights in New York City's famous Times Square.
The SOP Supreme Lodge, along with members of the Maids of Athena Grand Lodge as well as Greeks in New York tournament attendees braved a torrential downpour to see the display in person.
The Sons of Pericles Centennial Logo serves as a vibrant and meaningful tribute to our one hundred years of Brotherhood, a remarkable milestone we will continue to celebrate for the duration of 2026. This logo not only commemorates the rich history of our Order, which began its journey in 1926, but also symbolizes the enduring values and principles that have guided us through the decades and continue to resonate with our members today as we approach the year 2026. The redesign of our standard Sons of Pericles crest intricately weaves together elements that reflect our heritage, unity, and commitment to fostering a strong community among young men of Greek descent.
Each component of the logo has been thoughtfully chosen to represent the spirit of camaraderie and the shared experiences that have defined our organization over the past century. By showcasing this emblem, we are not merely marking the passage of time; we are reaffirming our dedication to the ideals of friendship, philanthropy, and cultural pride that have been the cornerstone of our Brotherhood since its inception. It was an honor to be able to share it with the three hundred thousand people who travel through Times Square on a daily basis. The display played for a minute every hour throughout the weekend, ensuring visibility to as many of these pedestrians as possible.
As we celebrate this centennial milestone, we invite all members and their families to reflect on the journey we have undertaken together and to embrace the future with renewed vigor and a sense of purpose. Putting our mark on this significant occasion is not just an act of remembrance but a declaration of our commitment to continue building a legacy that honors our past while inspiring the generations to come.
