Brotherhood of Engineers
For 91 years, the UP Beta Epsilon has proudly stood tall as a pillar of excellence and service in the UP College of Engineering. Beginning merely as a collective desire between Hon. Alejandro S. Melchor and a group of student athletes to establish an engineering student honor society, the idea of an organization consisting of aspiring engineers slowly gained traction throughout the halls of the College of Engineering. On August 23, 1929, these ideals and efforts came to fruition, as the UP Beta Epsilon, or Brotherhood of Engineers, was founded and recognized as an official organization by the UP Administration.
The dreams of 9 Honorable founders and Hon. Alejandro S. Melchor soon birthed numerous avenues of service to the University. From forming excellent engineering students and alumni, to materializing the Beta Way, to organizing Maskipaps: the Crossover, the UP Beta Epsilon steadfastly upholds its aims of fostering camaraderie and serving the country in general and the college in particular.
