Fellow Upsilonian,
From our humble beginnings in the late 40’s, the Upsilon Sigma Phi Los Banos chapter is now celebrating 59 glorious years as Asia’s premier university-based fraternity.
Together with our brods in Diliman and Manila, we count the days to the celebration of our fraternity’s 88 years. Now nearing its ninth decade, our fraternity remains to be a vibrant force in politics, business, the academe and many other major fields of endeavor.
For our part, the USPLBAA is blessed with showers of Upsilon light as we continue to support the 1st term of Chancellor Rey Velasco ’74. We have reason to celebrate as six young Upsilonians join our alumni ranks led by Martin Mayou 2003, who marched magna cum laude (BS Biology) last April. We also successfully celebrated out 87th Fraternity Anniversary last November at the UPCO Social Hall with the presence of over 60 LB Brods and Residents. There we honored UP Regents Romulo Davide and Ed Varona of Batch 1954. We were also the 1st to toast Brod Ric Lantican ’51 on his conferment of the title, National Scientist of the Republic.
Truly, your new Board has been working hard and even harder together with the residents to bring back the zest into or dear Fraternity and Association. Only recently, we’ve been having almost weekly fellowships hosted by the ever accommodating Ding Navasero ’70 at his Los Banos residence.
Even the Residents led by our Illustrious Fellow Ziegfried Manahan, have found a new love for theater as they mount, “Romeo Rocks Juliet”, a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy. A co-production with our sister Sigma Deltans.
With these as a backdrop, your Association would like to invite you to our General Membership Meeting and Mid-Year Fellowship on June 10, 2006 (Saturday) at the UPCO Social Hall, three o’clock in the afternoon.
The General Agenda calendared for or GMM shall cover:
· Induction of New Members
· The Chairman’s Message
· The President’s Report
· Committee Reports
· Key Projects: Loyalty Day 2006, Movie Screening Series, Gawad Kalinga: Los Banos
· Revisions in the Indoctrination Program
· Resident’s Report
· Fraternity Ball: A Grand Luau and Upsilon Congress 2006 Updates
You have a hard-working Association ready for the new challenges of the new millennium. We hope you can be amongst brods on June 10 and re-kindle your love and spirit for our beloved Upsilon.
Brod, we will reserve a seat and a glass for you!
Fraternally,
