You should know...
Our seven founding fathers felt a need for the strengthening of Pilipino Unity. This would come through the extinguishing of lines between regions, class levels and language barriers. On February 16, 1995, this brotherhood became a reality on the campus of the California State University at Fresno, uniting both Pilipinos and non-Pilipinos. Epsilon Chapter was established at California State University Sacramento on May 18, 1998. Since then we have grown to become a well respected fraternity participating in school and local events. Every semester we hold exciting cultural events to help enrich our fellow students of Pilipino awareness culture. In addition, we feel it is our duty to take part in community service. We contribute fundraiser's to the disadvantaged in the community.
