Write-up
The SIGMA KAPPA PI FRATERNITY is a nationalist and service oriented brotherhood, which seeks to bring down the walls of exclusivity surrounding fraternities and be one with the masses in order to serve them better.
The fraternity espouses a kind of nationalism that does not advocate economic, political, scientific and cultural isolation. It is not anti-development in that it believes that our people deserve all the ease and comfort, good health, and access to the best products of man’s intellect and artistic spirit that the highest achievement of science and art can provide.
The fraternity is committed towards serving the Filipino people specifically members or marginalized sectors such as the peasants, the workers, the urban poor and the indigenous people. In this light the fraternity conducts activities to provide its members with first hand experiences of the prevalent problems affecting these sectors. It serves to heighten the social awareness of its members and provide them with the opportunity to extend whatever support they can give they can give to uplift the conditions of these people.
And in its more than 30 years of existence, it has produced countless individuals being able to uphold these ideals. As students, members serve the studentry by trying to fulfill its role as catalysts of change by providing venues to understand issues affecting them and the country. As professionals, members serve the people whom they deal with everyday in their individual professions by trying to honestly fulfill their professional duties and without abusing anyone.
The Sigma Kappa Pi Fraternity is more than an organization. It is at once both a movement and a family. Its members are brothers in every sense of the world – standing by one another’s side through time and circumstance, yet unhesitant to correct a brother straying too far from the path. The brothers are loyal, yes but critical just the same and ever mindful of the goals and principles of the fraternity.
