A brief History of ALPHA PHI EPSILON
In the year 1959, fraternity was organized by a group of students
and professors in Universidad de Zamboanga formerly Zamboanga A E
Colleges, Zamboanga City and named it as Delta Lambda Epsilon. When this
organization was introduced in the said school, some interested
students both Christian and Muslim joined The recruitment and
initiations were done secretly the fraternity was still unrecognized by
the institution.
As per records of Zamboanga City Chapter, many people of solid males
had undergone the necessary initiations but only five (5) members
survived and called themselves “The golden shepherd” However due to lack
of enthusiasm among the surviving members, Delta Lambda Epsilon did not
flourish physically. This paved way to one of surviving, members Engr.
Danilo Suarez to organize a new organization which is no known as “ALPHA
PHI EPSILON INTER-COLLEGIATE UNIVERSITY SERVICE FRATERNITY AND
SORORITY” The Organization was founded on September 28 1961 with its
surviving members being recognized popularly and professionally as the
“EPSILONIAN” Basis available records, ALPHA PHI EPSILON became
international when (2) Czecholovakian exchange scholars survived in the
organization in the early years of its founding date.
Alumni students who belonged to some organization in Zamboanga City
also believed that Engr. Danilo Suarez was involved in organization
called the ALPHA DELTANS. The surviving members of the Alpha Deltans are
high school students who will become a full pledge member of ALPHA PHI
EPSILON once they will finish their high school days.
