Gerry Nicodemus<\/a> as the Master Keeper of the Scroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring the late 1970s, the chapter faced adversities, especially from their rivals\u2014The Fraternal Order of the Knights (FROKS). Despite recruitment challenges and aggressive opposition, the brothers stood their ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2nd Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Brod Gervy Basilio left after the school year \u201878-\u201979. Another brod joined us the following school year, and brod Rouel Bismani, the founder of PATTS, became the second GT of Letran Seniors. Our rival fraternity, FROKS, learned of the development, which didn\u2019t bode well for our plans for the chapter. They tried to knock us off and inflicted harm on any and all known members of our fraternity. We were small in numbers but not in courage. Most active brods fought hard individually, and some refused to be active participants or members to avoid getting harmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brod Rouel Bismani left Letran the following year; being his Deputy, I acted as the GT for the time being. The school year 1980-1981 was when our rival fraternity, FROKS, made a number on me. They collectively swarmed me outside the dean\u2019s office. Instead of asking other chapters to get involved, we sued Letran and Dean Torres for what happened. Dean Torres agreed to expel some FROKS fraternity members involved in the incident to avoid litigation. However, the issue didn\u2019t stop there, as we were \u201chot\u201d in the eyes of our rival fraternity. To prevent any other future problems, my family compelled me to transfer to a college near our new home, Perpetual Help College of Rizal (PHCR). I officially transferred to Perpetual Help College in 1981, where I met some ex-Letranites, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tipping Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n In 1983, the last of the initial batch from 1978-1983 graduated, concluding an era but leaving an indelible mark on the fraternity’s history. The Chapter remains grateful for those who have continued to build upon their legacy, honoring Tau Gamma Phi’s enduring spirit of unity and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We, the brothers of Letran Seniors 1978 – 1983, are grateful that others continued the path we paved for future generations of our beloved Tau Gamma Phi Fraternity in Letran. Hearing that our beloved Letran Chapter was founded in 1983 by those after us is disrespectful and an insult to us. We ask that you show some respect for our community as a fellow Triskelion. We are not seeking fame or glory; instead, we are committed to upholding the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
