USC’s statement about the fraternity’s major involvement in the UP Fair 2023 did not please some Filipinos who commented that it failed to hold itself “accountable” to the students it was supposedly representing. “Specifically, allowing Upsilon Sigma Phi, a fraternity with a known history of impunity and violence, to participate and be one of the night handlers of UP Fair 2023,” it added.
