The Triskelion de Mindanao

Triskelion de Mindanao - The United Triskelions in Island of Mindanao.

Triskelion de Mindanao is not Tau Gamma Phi because we firmly believe that Tau Gamma Phi resides in the Chapters. In other words, each and every chapter is Tau Gamma Phi itself; operating independently from each other however bonded in one spirit since each chapter adheres to the same Tenets and Code of Conduct.

Triskelion de Mindanao is simply an umbrella organization of all Triskelion Entities in Mindanao, to wit: Tau Gamma Phi Chapters, Tau Gamma Sigma Chapters, and Triskelion Alumni Organizations. It does not exercise Governing Power but we only exercise Remedial Power, which is basically inherent in nature and bestowed by the Tenets and Code of Conduct.

Triskelion de Mindanao advocates the empowerment of the Chapters and emphasizes the governing power of the Grand Triskelions. We instill in the minds of the brods and sis that each and every chapter has to responsibly govern itself in order to attain supremacy in their respective territories. However, although independent in governance, each chapter must observe accountability to the name Tau Gamma Phi because no chapter has the sole right to the name Tau Gamma Phi. This is where the remedial power of Triskelion de Mindanao comes in. Basically it is to ensure that each chapter must live within the boundaries of the Tenets and Code Conduct.

Hopefully in the future, if ever we come up with one constitution to govern the entire Triskelion forces. We in Triskelion de Mindanao strongly suggest that it has to be a Federal Type of Government wherein the Chapters will remain to be governing units and the Grand Triskelions can still exercise governing power.

Strong chapters make strong councils, and will definitely make a strong Fraternity Worldwide.
