The Alpha Sigma Fraternity (ΑΣ), also known as Alay Sa Sambayanan, or Masig, is a Filipino college fraternity. It was founded in 1962 at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City, Philippines.
The Alpha Sigma Fraternity was founded at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City on October 10, 1962.[1] The fraternity was established in protest to the destructive behavior of many fraternities, instead seeking to be an advocate for academics.[1] Its emphasis is humanitarianism and service to its country.[2]
The fraternity was accredited by authorities of the University of the Philippines in September 1963.[1] A second chapter was established the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 1964, followed by the University of the Philippines Manila in 1987.[1]
Initially, the Greek letters “ΑΣ” stood for “Academic Supremacy in the Arts and Sciences,” which evolved into “Advocates of Scholarship” when the fraternity was accredited in 1963.[1] Later, the meaning was redefined as Alay sa Sambayanan or “Offering to the People.”, reflecting the fraternity’s broader mission and civic engagement.[1][3]
The fraternity’s motto is “Truth–Reason–Justice”.[3] Its slogan is “In all endeavors, the mark of excellence.”[1] Its pillars are nationalism, academic excellence, leadership, and physical development.[1]
Alpha Sigma Fraternity’s colors are blue, which symbolizes truth and loyalty, and gold, which represents excellence and warm-heartedness.[citation needed] Members of the fraternity are known as Masig.[2]
