The Pi Sigma
Fraternity Alumni Association, Inc.. (PSFAA) serves as a vehicle for
alumni brods to continue on the ideals they have
espoused in their college or university years.
Moving into the "real" world does not
mean the end of youthful zeal and idealism, but
rather, this offers a broader opportunity for the
brods to exert influence and make a difference
based on the beliefs and aspirations inculcated
into them as residents of their school chapters.
Through the years,
our Fraternity has produced competent, aggresive
and highly-motivated professionals, businessmen,
civic and social workers and public servants, who
are making their mark in their own fields of
endeavor. They represent a potent pool of talents
that could be tapped to carry the Fraternity's
quest for peace, progress, social justice, and
genuine democracy out of the confines of the
universityand into the mainstream of society.
With our common
bonds as Sigmans and the PSFAA, Inc., almost
three decades of brods will be bridged and
brought together; facilitating communication,
building business, professional, social, and
political linkages, sharing lessons and
experiences, consolidating our ranks, and moving
ahead in unison.

The need to organize the alumni has
been eagerly conceptualized to institutionalize
coordination and continue fraternal ties between
the alumni themselves and the resident brods. In
1984, the mother chapter in UP Diliman, initiated
moves to form an alumni association and held an
Alumni Homecoming with the Pi Sigma Delta
Sorority on February 11 of that year in the
Kowloon House Restaurant in Quezon City. Another Alumni Homecoming
was held in the Asian Institute of Tourism in
Quezon City on December 16, 1986. This was also a
Christmas Ball and the guest included not only
alumni from the Mother Chapter but alumni from
other chapters as well as alumni brods who were
working or based in Metro Manila - National
Capitol Region. In this affair's Open Forum,
formalizing the Alumni Association was agreed
upon and this set up the ground work for an event
to come about two years later.
On the 11th of
December 1988, the Articles of Incorporation of
the Pi Sigma Fraternity Alumni Association, Inc.,
were submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), thus giving official
recognition to the PSFAA, Inc., as a non-stock,
non-profit organization committed to foster
brotherhood and camaraderie among members towards
greater service to the Filipino people.
On the 28th of
February 1989, The First Alumni General Assembly
was held at the Celebrity Sports Plaza. In this
General Assembly (GA), the alumni brods
reaffirmed their continuing committment to the
principles of the Fraternity. Elections were also
held for members of the executive council and
plans and projects were drawn-up.
Succeeding General
Assemblies were also held in the following years.
The second GA was held in Sulo Hotel in Quezon
City on December 15, 1990 and the third one on
December 15, 1991 at the Institute of Small Scale
Industires Auditorium in UP Diliman. And in 1992,
a Grand Alumni Homecoming was held at the Manila
Pavillion Hotel to celebrate the Fraternity's
20th year anniversary.
The growth of the
PSFAA, Inc., continued with the building of
regional alumni chapters. The first was the Bicol
Region Chapter and then the Northern Luzon
Regional Chapter which hosted the Third Pi Sigma
Fraternity National Convention on December 1994.
The Mindanao region followed suit with a
Mindanao-wide convention of alumni brods from
February 28 - March 3, 1997, setting up the
alumni chapter in that region. A National Capitol
Region Chapter was established.
