The Pi Sigma Delta (PSD) Sorority will mark its 50th anniversary with a homecoming celebration at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, Bahay ng Alumni, on Jan. 25, 5 p.m.
The theme of this golden anniversary is “Pagpupugay sa limampung taong paglilingkod at maprinsipyong pagharap sa hamon ng kinabukasan” (Upholding 50 years of service and principled dealing with challenges of the future).
To commemorate this milestone, PSD is organizing “50 Days of Giving,” a string of projects in service of the people.
This January, the lineup of projects includes a 5-kilometer Deltan Fun Run 2025, which will be held at the UP Academic Oval on Jan. 19. Pro-ceeds from this will benefit communities, supported by the Bread of Salt-Multiplied Initiative. Gun start will be at 5 a.m.
PSD will also host “Fashion for a Cause” for women and their families in partner-communities in Tondo, Manila, on Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. Pre-loved office clothes and other items will be sold at affordable prices. All proceeds will be plowed back to the communities for livelihood projects, including “Kuha sa Tingi,” a sachet avoidance refilling projects for low-income communities.
Founded on Jan. 26, 1975 at UP Diliman, the twin principles of PSD are to be the paragon of self-development and “paglingkuran ang samba-yanan nang may dangal” (Serve the people with dignity).
