Alpha Sigma Phi Philippines (ΑΣΦ, commonly abbreviated to Alphans) is a co-ed service fraternity with 34 active undergraduate chapters, colonies, and interest groups. ==History== On September 29, 1959 at Mindanao Agricultural College (now Central Mindanao University) in Musuan, Bukidnon Province when a young man named Tomas R. Gavarra who just finished Associate in Agriculture in University of the Philippines – Los Baños felt the absence of a fraternity in the campus. He was exposed to the fraternity life back at UP where his elder brother and sister were both members of a fraternity and a sorority. In his first and second try, being inexperienced in fraternal organization, he failed to convince the students in his desire to form a fraternity. Being not easily discouraged, he again invited 35 other men to join him but this time asked Ramon Del Carmen, his acquaintance in UP and a member of the Upsilon Sigma Phi, to give orientation regarding fraternity college life. The students were finally convinced of the presentations of Ramon del Carmen and he ended up as their faculty advisor. The group named their organization as ASP (Agricultural Students of the Philippines). The sorority counterpart was also organized by Angel Rebecca Quiñones and named the sorority Sigma Mu Alpha. On December 12, 1965 at Silliman University in Dumaguete City, Province of Negros Oriental, a group of Political Science students of the university led by Manuel M. Momongan likewise initiated the formation of a new fraternity. He recruited men for the group and named the fraternity Alpha Delta Phi based from his findings of that name from the Baird's Manual of Fraternities which was founded in U.S.A. on October 29, 1832 and in the Philippines on December 8, 1965. The fraternity however was split into two; the fraternity and sorority in compliance with the policies of Silliman University separating men and women. On December 12, 1965, the Founder, Manuel Momongan changed the name of the fraternity as Alpha Sigma Phi and the sorority counterpart was the Delta Sigma Phi. In 1972, the organization at Silliman University sent invitations to schools nationwide inviting all existing fraternities using the name Alpha Sigma Phi to join them in a National Convention. Of the four original fraternities, only the organizations originating from Silliman University and Central Mindanao University participated in the national convention, and formed what is now known as Alpha Sigma Phi Philippines, Inc. In that convention, Kalunsiang Dimalen (Silliman University) was elected National President. During the 2nd National Convention in 1976, Greek letter assignment was given to all chapters attending the convention with Central Mindanao University as the Alpha Chapter and Silliman University, Beta Chapter. On July 24, 1980, it was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Reg. No. 921245). The National Headquarters of Alpha Sigma Phi is located in Dumaguete City. Over the ensuing years, more than 100 Alpha Sigma Phi chapters have been chartered at universities and colleges in different parts of the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alpha Sigma Phi Philippines, Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
