“Pride in our hearts… All for the Glory of the Mu Sigma Phi!”
Most Outstanding Student Organization
Annually, the Committee on Awards of the University of the Philippines, Manila identifies individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to teaching, research, leadership and extension works.
During the 10th anniversary celebration of UP Manila as an autonomous unit of the university in 1991, Mu Sigma Phi received its first Most Outstanding Student Organization award.
In 1995, after receiving the award for five consecutive years (1991-1995), the fraternity was elevated to The Hall of Fame, the first organization to be recognized as such. The Fraternity was only allowed to join the award search again after a five year hiatus.
In 2008, Mu Sigma Phi received the Most Outstanding Student Organization for the ninth time, a feat that remains unmatched since the annual citation was started.

Ten Outstanding Youth Organizations
In 1989 the Manila Mayor’s Office launched a search for the “Ten Outstanding Youth Organizations” (TOYO) for the whole of Metro Manila. The UP Manila Office of Student Affairs nominated the Fraternity along with several campus organizations. Altogether 50 youth organizations became finalists including veteran socio-civic groups from NGO’s. Screening and verification processes were very stringent. The awarding ceremonies required all finalists to attend with the winners withheld until the final announcement.
The first TOYO awardees consisted of 6 community-based and four campus-based organizations. The Mu Sigma Phi was the only UP-based winner and was cited significantly for its innumerable community oriented projects not only for Manila but also for the whole country. The Fraternity would be nominated and win the TOYO in 1991 and 1992 again pushing the Manila Mayor’s Office to elevate the Fraternity into the Hall of Fame- the first to be bestowed such an accolade.
Most Active NGO Partner in Luzon
The Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor under the Fidel V. Ramos administration declared Mu Sigma Phi as the Most Active NGO Partner in Luzon in Helping the Urban Poor in 1997 besting out all other organizations. The fraternity was recognized for the numerous medical and surgical missions and other health services intended especially for the underserved particularly those affected by the Mt. Pinatubo disaster. The national citation was awarded by President Ramos himself.
Gawad ng Dekano
The Gawad ng Dekano was conceptualized by the Dean of the College of Medicine and the Medicine Student Council to give recognition to outstanding individuals and student organizations in the college. The first Gawad ng Dekano for Outstanding Student Organization was awarded to Mu Sigma Phi in 2002. Part of the citation read: “for their glorious 69 years of service to the College and the Filipino people for which they have received multiple awards”.
