The Dawn of a New Chapter

BEYOND the shores of our Philippine motherland, we came to America bringing with us the principles of brotherhood, integrity, loyalty, equality, and service. We continue to be proud members of the Beta Sigma Fraternity. As each individual family struggles with life in this great nation, we believe that forging ties with other brothers’ families fortifies the foundation of a stable family life.

STRENGTHENING the bonds among brothers and his family members shall be our thrust. The family will be our inspiration as we set forth regular fellowship and worthwhile activities. We would like our children to have a sense of belonging. By being together we teach them the moral fibers of love predicated on sympathy, understanding, friendship and equality as embodied in the Betan Credo.

FROM different university chapters and alumni affiliations we come, firmly believing that democracy and transparency are the bases of our camaraderie. We mutually respect each other amid diversities in wealth, region, creed and prejudices. We have faith, trust and love for one another. Each one will be our pillar of strength. Together we are one big happy family and we enjoy each other’s company.

We have hereunto subscribed our names as founding members of the BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY OF SAN FRANCISCO on the eighteenth day of August in the year of our Lord two thousand and seven:

The proceeds of this activity will benefit the UP Beta Sigma School of MARTIAL ARTS program which includes continuous trainings and to purchase equipments badly needed for the program.

Brods, this is the right time to revive one of the greatest tradition of our fraternity and our cooperation worldwide is needed to make this a reality!

We are inviting our international chapters to support this momentous event and be part of this generous act in helping our residents here in Diliman. The major sponsor of each hole is $250 each and in return your chapter or the name of the sponsor shall appear in the banner.
