The Alpha Sigma Fraternity was founded in October 10, 1962 by 24 university and college scholars of the University of
the Philippines Diliman. Alpha Sigma originally stood for 'Advocates of Scholarship' but it was later changed to 'Alay sa
Samabayanan' (meaning an Offering to the People) in response to the emerging nationalist movement of the 1960's. This move
significantly redefined the fraternity's character and established Alpha Sigma as one of UP's leading nationalist organization.
Throughout the years, the Fraternity has distinguished itself in academic excellence, campus leadership, and more importantly,
has consistently taken part in arousing the nation's sense of social consciousness and pioneering in actions towards social
transformation. Alpha Sigma has consistently and unwaveringly been true to the highest goal laid by the founding brothers...that
of humanitarian service.
