Just to clarify, Tau Gamma Phi was founded in 1968 by the founding fathers at the University of the Philippines Diliman. That is the origin of the fraternity.
Tau Gamma Phi Global is not a new fraternity and not a separate organization. It is the Global Constitution , a constitutional framework intended to guide the fraternity on a global scale and promote standards that reject violent and outdated practices.
So it is not correct to say that Tau Gamma Phi Global is “new.” The fraternity itself dates back to 1968. What Global represents is the constitutional direction for the brotherhood moving forward.
And to be clear, we are not here to destroy or smear NEC. In fact, it is the other way around. What we are doing is defending the name of the fraternity when it is being dragged into controversies and incidents that stain its reputation.
That is why we are speaking up and granting interviews , to bring clarity and to defend the name of the brotherhood when it is being tarnished. This is also consistent with the principles stated in our Tenets and Code of Conduct: when the name of the fraternity is being dishonored, it is our responsibility to stand up and help restore its dignity.
