Along the unmeasurable discipline, guidance, and support that were given by the seniors and alumni in this province together
with the burning flame of brotherhood of our brothers from Cebu City, the AKRHO BOHOL COUNCIL was built with a strut. It was
on March 1, 2008 that the first grand convention was done at the Municipality of Talibon attended by different akp chapters
of Bohol. Along with this convention were the election of officers, community projects, and activities. The council is now
headed by Pacifico Crystal and supported by Randy Gahit of Cebu Council and Elmer Nuez the Chairman of AKP DAVAO ORIENTAL
COUNCIL.
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 Bohol do not discriminate, in the basis of race, disability, creed, political beliefs, and gender preferences. Since
then,Rh Alpha Kappa Rho-Bohol has maintained a proud tradition of creating and perpetuating brotherhood for good men coast
to coast. We would like to thank Brother Piko, Marino Garcia, Bobby Garcia, Yhoudz, Dboy, Jj, Lordner, Mendez, El el, Mckoy,
Zneil Deparine, Greg Cempron, and not mentioned others 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.

HISTORY
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 date, The Alpha Kappa Rho International Service Fraternity and Sorority, the endless efforts of our Founders, Co-Founders,
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 and systematically develop our HELPERTISE to
better achieve the peak of our Fraternal goal out of effective Teamwork.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
One most important piece of the puzzle which we cannot afford to disregard is the physical and logical message of special
thanks to all Skeptrons behind the completion of the Alpha Kappa Rho International Service Fraternity and Sorority's Community
involvement, who are behind in the handling of different AKP Projects and behind our simple but successful Services.
The Alpha Kappa Rho, traditionally, expressed sincere thanks and gratefully applaud our helpful members from the Alumni,
Collegiate and Community who perked and spruced up our major, minor, simple or big time programs & projects in their own
little way. From all of us, your goodwill, generous support, donations and fundings are all deeply appreciated. Deep inside,
you are not just building the helpful side and promoting the peaceful message of the Brotherhood but you introduced a method
of binding our members in one strong family.
The value of challenge and purpose of commitment to the Brotherhood will go farther beyond what we have planned before.
To move on from the pasts, fulfill in depth, satisfy in fullness and putting the principles we have learned into action.....these
what made us achievers, leaders, members, workers , helpers and volunteers .
As GRATUITY to your compliments, this page is intented to your profound kindness.

THE SKEPTRONS CREED
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.
