"A Sigma Rhoan should believe in the existence of the Almighty God who created this earth and the whole universe. If he does not believe in God, to me, he isnot a true Sigma Rhoan," Attorney George Briones firmly stressed to his brothers, or brods for short, with his oratorical voice his conviction of what a true Sigma Rhoan is.The founders of the UP Sigma Rho Fraternity were patriotic students of the University of the Philippines in Manila. They were also deeply religious, and their faith in God, coupled with their patriotic spirit, served as their guiding principles in organizing the UP Sigma Rho in 1938 – three years before the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. The founders of the fraternity were all students of the UP College of Law which was then based in Padre Faura in Manila.
