Seven college students formed the Lambda Beta Phi fraternity at the University of Bohol in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines on July 9, 1969.[2] Their objective was to establish a fraternity that would set a high standard of academic excellence and a society respected on the campus.[3] It was among the first Filipino fraternity born in the University of Bohol campus and one of the few in the Philippines at the time.[2]
The founders were:[2]
- Tito Abucejo
- Arthur Arengo

Its song is "I Understand". Its colors are gold and blue. Its handshake signifies help in times of need and danger.
Early members ritualistically marked via branding their left hands to herald defiance of pain and to show they were one and united - distinct from the others, enduring "the pain to iron out equality among them".[2] In addition, four-cornered dots were tattooed above the brand to symbolize equality and a high sense of responsibility.[2]
