MANILA, Philippines — The UP Sigma Beta, the first sorority organized in the University of the Philippines (UP) and in the Philippines, celebrates its 90th founding anniversary on Feb. 14.

“We are older than the women’s suffrage movement in the Philippines. Our founding sisters started the sorority at a time when women were not even allowed to vote,” said Fe Cruz-Tantiansu who serves as senior adviser of the UP Sigma Beta Sorority Alumnae Association Inc.
