Hi brothers...
First time visitor to this board...
Thought I'd chime in here as I am one of the few (2 that I know of) brothers that has visited the Philippines on official Alpha Sigma Phi business.
In 2001 I attended their national conference in Davao City (if memory serves) after spending a week with some of the most amazing, dedicated and wonderful fraternity brothers and SISTERS that I've ever met.
I would suggest that the organizations, while not legally linked, are VERY similar. Certainly the Filipino organization was founded as a local agricultural group, but is now a large national organization that shares a ritual and values similar to yours and mine (I participated in an exemplification in which we inducted their original founder -- who had never been officially initiated until then).
I can't emphasize enough the amazing display of brotherly love that these men and women bestowed upon me during my visit, and I can't wait to visit again...
Glad to know this board is around...
