The MΣΦ Medics Newsette (1951; adapted by the UP College of Medicine as "The UP Medics Newsette" since November 1951)
The Mu Sigma Phi, or MΣΦ is the first fraternity in the University of the Philippines College of Medicine. It is also the first medical fraternity in the Asian region.
The fraternity was first mentioned in the Philippine Collegian in its November 24, 1933 article as the "first and only medical students' fraternity."
The Mu Sigma Phi does not confer honorary memberships.
The first fraternity in the University of the Philippines College of Medicine. Dr. Fernando Calderon, the first Filipino Dean of the UP College of Medicine and the first Filipino Director of the Philippine General Hospital, became the fraternity's first Faculty Adviser.
Being a fraternity of medical students, the Mu Sigma Phi has developed a tradition of service. Less than two years after its inception, Mu put together a fund for typhoon victims in the island province of Leyte. This unprecedented act was commended by then Governor-General Frank Murphy (the Philippines was under American rule until 1946). In the succeeding decades, the Fraternity put up projects for the College and its training hospital, the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). These projects, notably the Mu Blood Bank and the Mu Eye Bank, were turned over to the College. To facilitate access of indigent patients of the PGH to free medicines, Mu put up a 'Charity Medical Bag' in 1956.
