Fraternity

Is there a Pi Sigma Street?
Yes, in Albay, South of Luzon. Where the
majestic Mayon Volcano towers over the landscape of the Bicol region, Pi
Sigma Street had been in existence since the late 80's. The street
was so named because a great number of the residents are either Pi Sigmans
or Pi Sigma Deltans.

seal was inspired by a religious symbol that is usually placed on top of
doors. This religious symbol is used to ward off evil and bad luck.
In UP Diliman, where is the Pi Sigma "tambayan"
or hangout located?
During the the early 70's the "tambayan"
was near the left stairway facing the UP Library, it was then moved to
second floor of the Palma Hall in 1980 and stayed there for eight years.
1988 came, and with it, a notice of eviction from the College of Social
Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) for all non-CSSP organizations to vacate
the building. The fraternity was given two choices for its relocation site
by the CSSP administration, both "tambayan" choices were kiosk
type structures outside the building, the fraternity chose the kiosk near
the CASAA Canteen. Up to this date, Pi Sigmans and Pi Sigma Deltans can
be seen "hanging-out" at the tambayan, studying for the next
class or just plain waiting for the next "inspiration" to pass
by.
Does the Pi Sigma Fraternity have a Hymn?
Yes, as a matter of fact, all neophytes
or recruits of the fraternity are required to sing the Pi Sigma Hymn during
their initiation rites. There are other songs sung by the fraternity
on different occasions or events, there are marching songs, drinking songs,
songs about the sisses/sorority etc.
What event in UP Diliman is most anticipated
by students?
The Pi Sigma Fraternity Annual Open Debate
Tournament. The Annual Open Debate Tournament has consistently admitted
record attendance since its first run in 1986 up to this year's tournament,
hundreds had to turn back year-in and year-out, because of the jampacked
venue. Now on its 12th year, the tournament is perhaps one of the longest
existing fraternity sponsored event in the campus. The tournament is perhaps
the only venue where rival fraternity's, organizations and groups of individuals
pause and set aside differences to compete in yet a different arena, where
there is no physical violence, where wit, intelligence, wisdom and yes,
humor score "hits". Some faculty members and politicians actually
beg to be included in the list of judges of this prestigious event.
The fraternity has several distinguished brods
in its roster, one of them is a senator of the Philippine Republic. Who
is this senator?
Senator Raul Roco or should we say Brod
Raul Roco is a distinguised Sigman by virtue of an official act of the
Pi Sigma Fraternity Alumni Association. Said act made him an honorary Pi
Sigma Fraternity member.
