Among the conditions of these grants would include a detailed accounting of expenses as well as an evaluation of the impact of the projects towards recruitment of quality students in these UP campuses. 

 

The UPBSFI-BOD also reiterated support for the decade-old UP Manila Revival Project that hopefully will start very soon. Without any specifics on funding of specific activities, the BOD has yet to decide how much will be allotted to this project. Already, most of the basic structures are in place. Meetings with UP Manila officials had been mentioned in previous articles in this website. This includes support of the UP Manila Dean and Assistant Dean in identifying quality and qualified students who could be part of reviving our fraternity – Brotherhood of Scholars. BOD Ninong for UP Manila Jayjay Jayme has likewise promised to financially support scholars towards this end.

Discussions on how to support our Diliman resident chapter in its quest to be the Fraternity of Choice was resumed at the start of the week

Brods,
 

Hand-over to UPLB and UPB were done directly with the respective GPs, in the presence of the respective Ninongs. It would be nice to have the same for UPM and UPV. Anyway, discussions with the GPs also paved the way for possible intro- or re-intro- of the JCPS SOMA discipline with the resident brods, something we will give more attention in 2012.


The funds for UP Baguio project in January was turned over to GP Anton Hipolito yesterday (28Dec), in the presence of Brods Ninong Dennis Belmonte and UPBSF (Central) Veep Rolly Reyes (Prez Rene De Rueda is in Cebu).


Brod Dennis Belmonte reminded GP Anton of the need for transparency in the actual disbursement of the funds, as well as in the submission of report within one (1) month after the actual holding of the activity. Direct and indirect impact of the activity on the continuing recruitment process shall be given priority attention.

Cheers!

(The Program)

Fraternal Greetings Brothers!

     First of all, I would like to apologize for a sudden change of plans to the proposal of the Beta Sigma Fraternity, UPV Chapter. Please disregard the first proposal namely the “Socratic Dialogues” since we’ve come up with a better plan with a higher probability of success when it comes to recruitment. That event is the Concert for a Cause.
     Technically, the Concert for a Cause has a higher probability of success as compared to the Socratic Dialogues since the inclination of the students in UPV is towards party or concert events as compared to group discussions. Through this event, the Fraternity can attract more recruits since we will be known to the students as big-event makers and “community workers” because of the cause of the concert/party. Moreover, since we’ll be tying up with another organization namely Partido sang Mainuswagong Bumulutho (for manpower); we can make this organization as subject of recruitment.
     This will be a concert – party that will be done together with the brods from CPU and some organizations in UPV. A first of its kind in Iloilo wherein there will be pong balls, and other gaming things while a band is performing and it simultaneously happens with the party. The plan is to invite Bahaghari (a reggae band from Iloilo that joined PGT Season 3) as front act and a famous band in the Philippines such as Parokya ni Edgar or Brownman Revival. This event will capture the attention of the students in Iloilo City and Miagao. This concert/ party will be an avenue for brods from different parts of the country thus giving the college students the knowledge that the Beta Sigma Fraternity is a big fraternity when it comes to numbers.


Activity Design
   This activity is open to all and will depend on the capacity of the venue to accommodate guests. There will be tickets for the said event. The plan is to ask sponsorship from Tanduay. However, rather than the usual printed tickets, the participants will be asked to bring school supplies that will be given to a selected community or elementary school.


Activity Date
  
The event is tentatively scheduled on the month of February.


Recruitment Report
   As of the moment, we have made some progress when it comes to recruitment. I am one of the founders of the newly formed football club in UPV and I am currently the one heading this newly founded organization. I plan to make it like the Tumbleweeds wherein it will become a venue for recruitment.


Activity Cost
   There is no actual cost for the event yet; however, these will be the things that must be accounted for the event:
a. Venue: A big venue for a party in Iloilo City   P8,000-10,000
b. Band Fees                                                  P8,000-10,000
c. Publicities                                                   P1,000
d. Drinks (Sponsored by Tanduay?)                  P5,000
e. Food                                                          P5,000
f. Fraternity Shirt                                            P6,000
                                                                   ______________
                                                                   P33,000-P37,000
