Residents Celebrate Upsilon Month 2023 with ODYSSEY, A Journey Home

Published November 8, 2023

Odyssey, the grand celebration of the Upsilon Sigma Phi's 105th Anniversary, represents a journey inspired by the epic tale of The Odyssey. It mirrors the fraternity's spirit as the guiding star, reaffirming our commitment to our nation, and rekindling our roots. As we set sail, the waves and tides symbolize the challenges we face and overcome in our path of service to our homeland and fellow citizens.


Our fraternity's mission during this remarkable month is rooted in service, economic stability, and political maturity for the Philippines. We aim to support and uplift our community through a range of events and projects that reflect our unwavering dedication to these values.



1. Marahuyo: Day of Roses
Marahuyo is a celebration of women and children, where we extend pink roses to the UP community to raise awareness for Anti-Violence Against Women and Children.


2. Panagdayaw: University Expo
To support UP student entrepreneurs, Panagdayaw introduces university-wide fair activities such as Dakdakan (Slam Dunk competition), Car Stuffing, and an Org Fair, promoting economic growth on campus.


3. Kalinaw: Mental Health Initiative
Kalinaw addresses mental health issues within UP and beyond, inspired by the need to combat economic challenges affecting mental well-being.


4. Visayas Project: Medical Equipment Donation
In collaboration with the Okada Foundation, this project aims to make a significant contribution by donating essential medical equipment to a selected hospital in a city that endured the devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda.


5. Unbroken Legacy: Grand Fellowship
Unbroken Legacy is a celebration of camaraderie, bringing together distinguished individuals from various fields to commemorate a year marked by unity and understanding within the fraternity and sisterhood.


As the Upsilon Sigma Phi mounts these projects, we invite the UP community and the country at large to join us as we celebrate our 105th year. For inquiries and concerns, feel free to contact Rayne Parcon at 0977 801 1615. Together, we embark on this incredible Odyssey.
