It was August 08,1973 when Alpha Kappa Rho Inter-Collegiate Service Fraternity and Sorority was constituted.
We definitely thank our true Brothers and Sisters who showed sovereign loyalty in creating a triumphant teamwork over the
past years. Barriers were never been essentials in keeping our history untold but our foremost goal introduced us to essentials
in preserving our oath borderless.
Throughout the decades, the legacy of our Founders reflected from various languages
to different cultures, from mixed adversaries to compound diversities and from meaningful assumptions to potent solutions.The
Hierarchy had not dawn whilst the structure speaks to Skeptrons who understand their VISION and MISSIONS
As to

Organizers, Alumni, Collegiates, and Communities are well unchanged and unlimited. The efficiency of its Community Services,
Social Activities and Volunteer Projects translated huge significant steps to our Civic Mission and are just segments of something
we will see even more as we reach the new decade. We will strive double time

DAVAO ORIENTAL HISTORY
The ALPHA KAPPA RHO International
Service Fraternity and Sorority of Davao Oriental Province was founded last Sept
19, 2004 by Elmer Boncales Nuez. An oath of secrecy, logo, motto, code of laws, and an elaborate initiation ritual was done
and processed during this period. The organization is made up of men and women from mixed cultures, different religious backgrounds
and interests. The Alpha Kappa Rho Davao Oriental do not discriminate, in the basis of race, disability, creed, political
beliefs, and gender preferences. Since 2004, Alpha Kappa Rho-Davao Oriental has maintained a proud tradition of creating and
perpetuating brotherhood for good men coast to coast. Brother Elmer thanked the dedicated alumni like brother Rey Malintad
(UM-Tagum Chapter-MINDANAO),brother Joseph Bungcac (San Isidro Chapter-MINDANAO), and brother Joey delos Santos (Sta.Mesa
Chapter-LUZON) who have long preserved and enriched the tradition with a vision for the future that exemplifies the experience
of the past. Through the years, many brothers have noted that Alpha Kappa Rho have made significant contributions early in
their lives. With gratitude, these members have remained loyal and are supportive of the fraternity’s future, heightened
some layman's curiosity who our members are and what kind of members are we. Our Brotherhood welcomes anyone who identifies
their intent to join, experience the opportunity to serve the community and enjoy how to be called a recognized ' Skeptron
' by our Brotherhood. We seek to strengthen the connection of the AKP heritage and tradition patterned from Philippine fraternal
atmosphere while traditional groups in the modern world are further developing. Peculiar AKP family circle provides opportunities
to a variety of peculiar peaceful Services. It not only draws shared principle to a changing environment but members shared
the modest way to adapt the progressive environment.

| DAVAO ORIENTAL SUPREME GRAND SKEPTRON |
Alpha Kappa Rho is not an expression and neither a signature brand. It is integral to humanity and not a revert derivative.
Its members have the common goal to shape up philanthropy among members according to their evolving individual beliefs and
values. In expressing their Mission and Vision, members themselves take part in the essentials of Social involvement, Civic
actions, and Community Projects .
DAVAO ORIENTAL STATE COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Being a Skeptron defines various meanings. We are often the most misused, abuse and misunderstood of other fraternities.
Yet, we're always under attack from many quarters of the Greek-lettered fraternities. From the extreme right, comes the scathing
charge that Skeptrons are visionary, utopia, impractical, dreamers, and without good common sense. From the extreme left,
comes the accusation that Skeptrons are vacillating, incapable of action, weak, full of doubts, compromisers, and insincere.
Skeptrons are proud of their enemies.
The charges hurled by both extremes inspires Skeptrons with confidence and hope.
The Skeptrons' way is the progressive way, the way of understanding, the way of intelligence, the way of wisdom. A Skeptron
is known not only by the friends he has, but by the enemies he makes. So a Skeptron is comforted by the fact that he is dislike
by both reactionaries of other greek-lettered fraternities.
I would define Skeptron as one who fights hard for what
he believes in, but concedes to those who disagree wit him, the right to fight in a like manner, as long as they fight fair.
The
true Skeptron believes that there is such thing as truth, and that in can best be determined in a free and open contest for
the allegiance of men's minds.
The true Skeptron beleives while the people may not always be right, they are usually
right, and that in the end, if the people are given free rein to choose and to select, righteousness, truth, and justice will
prevail.
The true Skeptron concedes that he may be wrong, but will fight like fury to prove that he is not wrong.
The
true Skeptron believes in progress toward the goal of peace, justice, and freedom. He believes in the greatest good for the
greatest number. He believes that men can be led to happiness and to prosperity, but neither terrorized nor driven toward
these goals.
The true Skeptron believes in reason and enlightenment rather than in fear or superstition ; in judgement
rather than in passion ; in debate rather than in intrigue.
The true Skeptron believes that the poor must not be oppressed
nor must the rich be persecuted. Products for social usefulness rather than for selfish profit are his Creed. Each man should
be paid in accordance with his contribution ; but each is entitled to a decent livelihood. Each man, woman, and child must
have equal opportunity to succeed in life, regardless of sex, or of the social and economic status of his parents.
The
true Skeptron does not believe that the common masses should be condemned to a life of poverty or suffering, nor that he grant
that any of us is endowed by the Creator with superior rights to rule of to prevail. He does not believe that one class be
ruled. He believes that one class should rule and another class be ruled.
The true Skeptron believes that government
should represent all the people ; that while the majority should prevail, the rights of the minority mus at all costs be defended.
The minority today may be the majority of tomorrow. Skeptrons must tear any insipient stratification of society. There must
be no aristocracy of wealth, no being to privelege born.
The true Skeptron is the art of government. It is the art
of getting things done by effective leadership and by effective appeal to the people to follow responsible leadership. That
is the right kind of being Skeptrons. It is also right that there be an honest, above-board, and straight-forward organization
which maintains its integrity by being at all times responsive and responsible to the popular will.
The true Skeptron
maintains his inner strength by organic unity. He maintains his power by carrying out the wishes of his fraternity. He must
overcome all forces of reaction that continously obstruct his progress in every direction. His allegiance to Alpha Kappa Rho
must first of all to principles, and second, to the men and women who personify those principlers. He must built his fraternity
around ideas rather than around men.
The true Skeptron stands for Truth. Skeptrons must lead through advocacy of ideas
and integrity of character ; for no Skeptron is great or good enough to hold a mortgage on other poeple's mind, to think for
them and decide what is best for them.
I should like to see Alpha Kappa Rho, my fraternity, your fraternity, become
the true vehicle of the Skeptrons' Creed. Every principle we hold, every program, every project we favor or advocate subjected
to the test of this definition.
Alpha Kappa Rho should be the vehicle carrying out a program rather than be an end
itself. To the Skeptrons, the means are as important as the end. The end never justifies the means.
Despite all the
bitter accusations made against our beloved fraternity; for hurling the bitterest epithest against us, have slandered and
denounced us, have ridiculed and lied about us, still Skeptrons exist and flourish throughout the globe.
