Rho Delta Rho - (PΔP) is a Philippine-based Brotherhood established as an Organization, rather than a Fraternity and Sorority. It is defined as a Social/Youth movement that participates and operates in various colleges/universities, high school, and communities in Manila and various provinces in the Philippines. The organization has been, through the years, misinterpreted as a Fraternity and on several occasions also misidentified as a street gang in Philippine Society. However the misconception, similarities in practice, and bearing a Greek name, Rho Delta Rho operates in a manner uniquely in its own, and practices a system of organization that is neither a Fraternity by definition, and most specifically far from being classified as a street gang.
RDR was founded by four (4) Founding Fathers, three of whom the organization is named after. The entire organization structure is governed and administered by the centralized 5- member National/High Council (based in Manila, Philippines) which holds jurisdiction over all its constituent chapters and members (both locally in the Philippines and internationally abroad) , with respective Presidents (elected or appointed) to manage each Chapter.
It is a youth-oriented organization aimed in gathering young men and women to form an elite class of people uniting in the spirit of brotherhood. Founded on September 22, 1990 in the Philippines, where Greenlanes was the very first established community chapter until the main chapter is moved to Galleria Chapter (Robinsons Galleria) in 1991. Galleria then became RDR's Main Chapter and seat of the High Council - Situated at the heart and center of the interlocking cities of Pasig, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City.
Today, RDR is evolving from a youth based organization (with primary emphasis on young urban social groups/ communities and students), to a more dynamic and multicultural institution with its influence and members expanding to young professionals, politics, modern sub-culture, and inclining more to social awareness and civic activities. With members actively participating around the world, RDR is a force to be reckoned with in the coming age.
