ZEDEPHIAN Society
The word ZEDEPHIAN was derived from the Greek words “Zeta Delta Phi” original name of the society and referring to its motto: Zeal Duty Faith, and also called the “Standard of Friendship”, the first service volunteer society in the Philippines, founded by Frankjo Camacho Boral during his first year in college on November 12, 1999 at the campus of Catanduanes State Colleges, Virac, Catanduanes, Philippines.

The official name of the ZEDEPHIAN changed throughout the course of its history. During the early year was recognized as Academic Honorary Society one of the student organizations of Catanduanes State Colleges, an active organization in campus and community by rendering a service such as clean up drive, tree planting, blood-letting, gift-giving, painting of class rooms, stage decorators in every student affairs, donors of any materials for beautification of campus. After a year in service it was changed from Academic Honorary Society to Service Fraternity and Sorority. And now to make difference, the official name of the society is now ZEDEPHIAN from original Greek name and known as Service Volunteer Society. The society includes almost hundred members (referred to as Zedephians) in 1 chapter in the Philippines.

ZEDEPHIAN rapidly and healthily grew in the Philippines. In its tenth year, it became a national organization with seven chapters chartered in Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao campuses. It was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock, non-profit, non-dividend corporation with a registered name of ZEDEPHIAN National Service Volunteer Society (Philippines) Inc..
