There are Three (3) Big Islands in the Philippines composed of Luzon,Visayas, & Mindanao. every major province has big cities as will as Municipalities and Barangays.The FRATERNITY PHI OMEGA CHI is now a far reaching Organization due to members living in different site of the Islands and create chapters that gathers more membership. but the mean origin of this FRATERNITY & SORORITY was in CEBU CITY or what we called the PEARL of the Orient, the home of the brave LAPU-LAPU who became the first national hero who fight for freedom against any envidors. CEBU is the center for all activities of fraternity infact there are more than a hundreds Greek fraternities and Sororities exist in this City. one of this is the PHI OMEGA CHI known to be the PHIOXIAN & SYDRON. fraternities is abondants in Universities, Colleges, & Institution. but there are same fraternities exist in High School as will in the Community.

The first fraternities and sororities date back to the 18th century, some of which are still in existence. most organizations are now at least over a hundred years old, with traditional initiation and rites remaining the same as when these societies were founded. it is worth nothing that in the Philippines there are hundreds of fraternities and sororities, of both local and international origin, some of which are internationally acclaimed.

The first fraternity was the Phi Beta Kappa (PBK) which was organized in 1776 at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. it started as a social organization but later became a Honorary Scholastic Society in 1883.

Many early fraternities and Sororities developed out of literary and debating societies. Their secretive nature made them suspect, and many college officials opposed them. Nevertheless, they spread. the first women's society patterned like a fraternity was Adelphean(later called Alpha Delta Phi (ADF) organization in 1851 at Wesleyan College, Macon, Georgia, USA. Theta Xi (QX), for engineering and sciences students, founded in 1864 at Renseller Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, was the first professional fraternity. the first women's organization to use a Greek-Letter name was Kappa Alpha Theta(KAQ), founded in 1870 at De Pauw University, Greencastle, Indiana.

Beginning in 1885 and World War I, social fraternities and sororities grw in importance and number. beginning in the 1950's criticism of their racial and religious discrimination grew strong. During the 1960's participation in Greek-Letter Societies declined sharply at some campuses, causing Chapter Houses to close for lack of membership. Students began showing a renewed interest in the 1970
