The Lambda Beta Phi Fraternity & Sorority (LAMBDANS) is a fraternity established in the Philippines in July 1969. The co-educational organization has expanded to several colleges and universities in that country.




History


Seven college students formed the Lambda Beta Phi fraternity at the University of Bohol in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines on July 9, 1969. Their objective was to establish a fraternity that would set a high standard of academic excellence and a society respected on the campus. It was among the first Filipino fraternity born in the University of Bohol campus and one of the few in the Philippines at the time.
The founders were:

Tito Abucejo
Arthur Arengo
Cenocito Budlao
Efraim Castro,
Desiderio Cloribel
Rodolfo Haman
Leopoldo Mercado
Cloribel served as the first Supreme Grand or president. Cloribel and Castro, a nephew of the Dean of Student Affairs, secured university recognition of the fraternity in 1970. In 1970, a companion sorority of the same name was established at the Divine World College (DWC) in Tagbilaran City in 1970.




Symbols and traditions


Lambda Beta Phi's cornerstone or pillars are Love, Bravery, and Loyalty, represented by the Greek letters Lambda Beta Phi. The group's motto is ''Fraternity that would set a high standard of Academic excellence and a Society respected''. Its song is "I Understand". Its colors are gold and blue. Its handshake signifies help in times of need and danger.
Early members ritualistically marked via branding their left hands to herald defiance of pain and to show they were one and united - distinct from the others, enduring "the pain to iron out equality among them". In addition, four-cornered dots were tattooed above the brand to symbolize equality and a high sense of responsibility.
