History[]

It started in the Philippines on February 14, 1971. A group of students built this confraternity to fight back against the administration of late President Ferdinand Marcos. They used the newspaper to write against the power of the president. But then, President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law that caused many Filipino people to join a strike to remove the president from his position in the Malacanang Palace. In that year, many people died and were robbed, and the protesters were assassinated in the streets in Manila. Then, Delta Sigma Xi was born in the school of Manuel L. Quezon University. Delta Sigma Xi spread around the Philippines into different places such as Metro Manila, Ilocos Norte, Baguio, Zambales, Visayas and Mindanao.
