Reflection on the Rhoan Creed
I joined 1 the Alpha Rho Sigma Fraternity, first semester of SY 1987-1988 and became a Rhoan. I was so impressed with the Rhoan creed and recite it proudly from memory (it’s one of those things that are hard to forget). The part I like the most is the one that goes, “For only one life will soon be past, only what is done for God and mankind will last…,” which is what Jesus did mention as... [Read more]
One Name, One Beginning
The bottom line – the 2009 Rhoan General Assembly at Silliman University went well. Here’s an unofficial summation of the highlights: The Philippine RA 8049 “Anti-hazing Law” was adopted. All Rhoan chapters nationwide are to implement compliance to the law. All paddles have been relegated to ceremonial status. The new constitution is in force.1 It was also resolved that all...

Choose to Help
These days, even with the way the United States mortgage crisis initiated and dragged the rest of the world into recession, food is still to be had in most American tables. We can still choose from a varied selection. We can even not eat. My son has a word for food he does not like; in typical fashion, he would tell me, “Dad, this is really ‘chewy’,” and subsequently he would start pushing... [Read more]

Joys of Days Past
REFLECTIONS of GOOD DAYS PAST: The Rhoan International Reunion 2009 1 It was pouring hard, the roads slippery and Interstate 295 South was so dark and dreary. Behind the wheels of my sporty Mitsubshi, I was getting anxious. I still had around 3 hours to Orlando, and in this rain it would probably take me forever.And now in my golden 50’s , I was going, for the first time in so many years, meet brods... [Read more]
Found: Founders Day Pics
Can anybody help us put names to faces in the following photos? We are not certain of the year; only that it is another FD in Silliman. We’re sure these are all SU Rhoans, but from this side of the Pacific (obviously the wrong one), names can get lost in the shuffle that easily, and faces and smiles and moments need to be viewed again and again to keep them as fresh as when they were first...

Sports Complex or Basketball Court?
Rhoans have been invited to become a major sponsor for a proposed project put forward by Silliman, in the person of Pres. Ben Malayang III, through Brod Nick Elman. Are we organized enough to be able to afford such an ambitious project as a roofed “sports complex”, or should we instead contemplate the possibility of a more financially-feasible, paved basketball court against the backdrop...
