FAVOURITE SONG:
NAME: Sofia Koutoulas
POSITION: Committee Member
COURSE STUDIED: B Business/B Laws; First Year.
LIKES: I like simple pleasures like spending time with my family and being a crazy nut with mates, shopping :), dancing, reading, laughing at my stupidity etc. I enjoy yoga and all things 'spiritual',contact sports&leading an active lifestyle(go the uni gym!); I love politics, power and big, sweaty, muddy, smelly footy players - I highly rate Braith!
DISLIKES: Hypocrisy.
BEST THING ABOUT JOINING UTS HELLENIC: 'United we stand, divided we fall' - Aesop. As Grk-Australians we should never lose sight of the bigger picture and should strive to maintain ties with the mother country. It is important we ackowledge the achievements of those who have gone before us, however it's critical that we recognise the great obstacles faced by the youth, by our peers, in realising a Grk identity and promoting Hellenism. We are obligated to support eachother for we are the future - the generation that will keep Grk culture and tradition alive. Joining UTS Hellenic is about unity, solidarity and being affiliated to something greater. It's about overcoming the hurdles and accepting a unique national/cultural identity. Most importantly, it's about the exchange of fresh ideas&opinions and rejuvenating the 'Greek spirit'. UTS Hellenic has given me the opportunity to meet friendly, enthusiastic people and offer something back to the Grk community.
IF YOU WOULD INVITE 3 PEOPLE TO DINNER, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHY? Only 3? "Decisiveness" is a virtue...umm, Oscar Wilde for his unrivalled wit and writing talent; Queen Elizabeth I, she was an extraordinary leader and woman; I'm tempted to say Braith coz then I wouldn't have to cook dessert, but I think Alexander the Great would be more beneficial for his thoughts on power and strategy...
FAVOURITE SONG: Anything by KISS or Motley Crue(the greatest bands in the world!) Anything by Shakira, Kylie or J-Lo coz they're just so hot (and talented, of course :) All things George Michael, 'The artist formerly known as', Mitropanos, Dalaras and Aggelopoulos coz they're champs. I love my RnB, Rap and house and "otan eryazesai, oute fandazesai, ti kanw moni mou, mes' to saloni mou..." (Vandi)
