The turbulent 60's were a decade of social and political upheavals in the annals of Philippine History. The period saw
the breakdown of traditional beliefs and long-held values in favor of newer and more progressive ideas. In almost every aspect
of Philippine life and culture, CHANGE seemed to be the rightful order of the day.
The Fraternity system in the University
of the Philippines was immune from these external developments. As extraordinary times, called for and breed extraordinary
men. 1968 saw the wielding together of 25 concerned student leaders with a vision of introducing change and reforms in the
feudal and decadent nature of the existing Fraternity System. Then the result was the creation on October 4 of the same year
of the UP Triskelions' Grand Fraternity, better known as Tau Gamma Phi.
The Tau Gamma Phi is a protest Fraternity,
better life, and as such, it has committed itself in the Fraternity Life and as such it has committed itself uncompromisingly
to the two-fold task of providing the leadership in the quest for a Fraternity System devoid of Fraternity violence as well
as in the propagation of the TRISKELION as a Way of Life.
