[edit] Background

[edit] History

Four medical students established the Sigma Beta Tau Fraternity on October 1, 1967 with Dr. Jimmy Benitez, Dr. Felipe Salvador, Dr. Miguel de Castro and Dr. Rene Jallorina as founders. The Titans was envisioned as a different fraternity, a fraternity that would go for academic excellence through brotherhood, a brotherhood that will be based on values and noble aims. Currently, the fraternity has more than 700 members here and abroad.

[edit] Hymn

To live our lives as TITANS
We must search for the eagle's might
On our wings of lasting brotherhood
We shall always lead the fight

For we are strong and undivided
Like an eagle's heart should be
And through pleasant days and stormy nights
Our spirits will never flee

Though the road ahead might part us
Our souls remain with thee
For once we are a TITAN
Forever we shall be

Words and Lyrics by: Manny Fernandez and Ojie Sanchez
