The Filipino spirit of Bayanihan has always been embroidered into the fabric of the Mu Sigma Phi. From the Mu Sigma Phi Blood Bank (now the PGH Blood Bank) established in the 1940s, the Mu Sigma Phi Drug Bank in the 1960s, to the campaigns for mental health by the Fraternity and immunization in 2010 by the Sorority, the Mu Sigma Phi has always been heeding the call of service to the country, particularly the health sector. With the Covid 19 global pandemic, Mu Relief, the disaster relief arm of the Mu Sigma Phi together with undergraduate students and alumni of the UPCM have responded swiftly by delivering the appropriate PPEs to the frontliners in PGH and those in principal health units after raising funds, seeking and securing suppliers, and establishing connections with hospital and rural health unit (RHU) representatives. This initiative was made possible with the support of other organizations such as HelpThru and ROJDonors. As of May 4, 2020, the amount raised totaling P3,634,692.20 was used to provide medical supplies to our frontliners and equipment to 101 hospitals, 6 rural health units, 2 non-government organizations, 7 health facilities, 1 government facility, and 7 communities.The Mu Sigma Phi Sorority, through ImmuUnity: An Ounce of Prevention which advocates the importance of immunization against preventable diseases, has also launched the COVIDgilance Webinar Series to better educate both laypeople and medical workers on COVID-19 issues. Tackled by experts during the series were community-based interventions, outpatient obstetric care, and pregnancy.
