Who We Are
The Mu Sigma Phi Fraternity is the first fraternity in the UP College of Medicine. It is also the first medical fraternity in the Asian region. Its birth in October 1933 was the answer to the need for a college organization that would uphold true brotherhood, responsible leadership, advancement of scholastic and cultural welfare, and an unselfish spirit of service.
Now in its 89th year and with 1,718 members, the fraternity has moulded the Brothers of the Mu Sigma Phi to become pioneers, heroes, leaders, scholars, luminaries, scientists, and humanitarians in the field of medicine. The fraternity stands today as among the most acclaimed student organizations in the Philippines, and the leading Greek-lettered global network of UP Medical Alumni.
We Are Mu Sigma Phi.

Project H2O
Project H2O is part of the Relief Operations of the Mu Sigma Phi. Acting upon the essential importance of water as a basic need in times of disaster, Mu has been instrumental in providing safe drinking water using portable water filtration systems for communities hit by catastrophes.
MUbility
Project MUbility aims to empower differently-abled Filipinos, from as many walks of life possible, and to highlight their capabilities that most people would mistakenly surmise these members of our society cannot cultivate. It also seeks to advocate for socio-economic, medical, and institutional changes which emphasize and improve their access to better care and the observance of their rights as our fellows. MUbility projects under this banner have, and will continue to do so, by raising public awareness of their existence, their diversity, and the significant challenges they face on a day-to-day basis. This advocacy has demonstrated its deeds by addressing multiple aspects relevant to both the campaign and the actual beneficiaries themselves.
Mu Relief
The Mu Sigma Phi Relief Operations or MU Relief is the Fraternity’s and Sorority’s primary disaster response arm. Mu Relief was formally established in the wake of the Pinatubo eruption, which left countless Filipinos homeless, starving, and without available health services. Our response is with a wide variety of the most essential necessities: food, water, clothing, medications and medical services. Mu Relief aim to provide immediate response and relief to highly-affected and far-flung areas and communities not normally reached by the major efforts, the truly underserved.
