Tau Gamma Phi— the Triskelion's Grand Fraternity — is a social organization of higher education students in The Philippines, founded on a similar model to the fraternities of the United States and Canada.
The organization, originally known as the "Order of the U.P. Triskelions", was founded on October 4, 1968 by four Arts and Science students from the University of the Philippines, in the Diliman campus, Quezon City, Philippines. The group swelled in ranks and gained its recognition when the Greek-lettered name Tau Gamma Phi was adopted. A few years later, chapters from other college and university campuses in the Philippines were established.
The Tau Gamma Phi aims for the promotion and achievement of the ideals of fraternal brotherhood. The fraternity believes that it must forge its members to embody qualities of leadership, commitment, persistence, trust, integrity, respect, and vision. This fraternity aims for academic success, personal, career and spiritual growth, active participation in the community through service and social activities. The Tau Gamma Phi is committed to developing a best-in-class brotherhood organization: a student organization that embodies its own ideals and mission in accordance to fraternity's Tenets and Codes of Conduct.
A member of Tau Gamma Phi is called a Triskelion. Triskelion is a "Three Legged Symbol" as shown on the fraternity seal, (also used as a symbol of Brittany, Sicily and the Isle of Man) though its origin is a mystery. A Triskelion has always lived up to the Three Dynamic Forces; Fortis (Strength), Voluntas (Free Will) and Fraternitas (Brotherhood).
To date, the fraternity has several thousand active and alumni members all over the Philippines . The Tau Gamma Phi is a diverse fraternity where members mostly come from the colleges of medicine, law, architecture and engineering.
