ANΩ Chapter 1- The creation

At first a group of student began forming their own fraternity. The Adamas Nu Omega Fraternity and Sorority, was organized by six students in UE however when the notice that there was a link between Malic Tagoranao and the MNLF, the rest of the organizing body move away.   

Grace Sunga, Edwin Quiroz and Christine Mercado likewise Tagoranao Malic proceed to build the ANΩfraternity and Sorority  in cover of an organization of brotherhood and sisterhood with the mission to promote highest standard of education, leadership, friendship, and service for the members and the community based upon the ideals set forth by the founding members.

The first meeting was establish at Lepanto Street Sampalok Manila, on or about 1830hrs and the organization was declared on August 28, 1976 as legitimate fraternal organization without proper approval from any gschool authority however it spread and form chapters in different university all over Metro Manila. And the members approximately reach to 2,000 in year 1977.

The Adamas Nu Omega is generally thought of as a student’s secret society, to support the MNLF movement in Mindanao but the origins of the ANΩ start way in the middle of their “struggles” to protect against injustice, violent and oppressive government and its numerous corrupt and inconsistent Marcos regime. Only later, they changes into normal fraternity.

The organization is a non-profit intercollegiate and service fraternity/sorority. Emphasizing unity within the members and providing outreach projects to the community. With the acceptance of the fraternity/sorority in colleges and universities all throughout the region, the fraternity/sorority has shared beliefs and mission to provide leadership-training opportunities and to serve the community. However the Adamas Nu Omega fraternity became a gang of idiot and troublemakers. It’s no secret that the ANΩ members have been increasing at alarming rates in communities and on school campuses nationwide. From 1976 to 1998, the ANΩ fraternity has not only increased and intensified, it has done so with notoriously senseless crime and violence, members are drug users while the sorority were prostitutes.

Generally, the Adamas Nu Omega Fraternity can be considered to be a loosely organized group of individuals who collaborate together for social reasons. The organization’s main goals are to promote academic betterment and respect and set out to accomplish these goals through responsible intellectual and social action. However, it wasn’t done so because the ANΩfraternity members were involve in crimes such as burglary, robbery, and vandalism were their crimes of choice. The ANΩfraternity had neither no formal structure nor leadership. They were very defensive, and they would protect it with a vengeance and because of this, Grace Sunga and Edwin Quiroz quit from the organization while Christine Mercado left without reasons.

The ANΩfraternity/sorority membership become open to gang members, high school students and school dropouts to boast its recruitment and many of its members recruit use juvenile members to commit crimes or carry bladed weapons other form of felonious assault because juveniles are subject to less severe sentences compared to adult penalties. These early ANΩfraternity consisted generally of Bisaya, Muslims and Waray  friends who involved themselves in limited criminal activities designed to perpetrate a "tough guy" image and to provide an easy means of obtaining money. They collected dues to every student’s to buy drugs and liquor and, established rules and regulations in school campuses, and conducted meetings with informal minutes.

From 1976 to 1977, the Adamas Nu Omega increased with larger memberships and operated primarily in MLQU and UE. This was partly due to more Muslim student bonding together for protection from rival gangs, and terrorizes innocent passers-by. The ANΩfrat began forming in Feati University and they start harassing in Quiapo with rubbery and hold-up in Echague. They developed a reputation for being the fiercest and feared fraternity in Metro Manila area.

Brutal Initiation into the ANΩfraternity required the prospective member to "jump in" and fight some of the members already in the fraternity. Another initiation rite for sorority is sex required for their loyalty among brothers and sisters. They remained territorial and motivated to protect their name and secrets from the outside world. The ANΩ members are willing to die for their fraternity, especially in defence of their leader Malic Tagoranao who was with sexual relationship with their sorority. They became involved in variety of crimes, assault and drugs and involve in narcotic trafficking a minor nature prior to 1980’s.

However by 1998, the ANΩfraternity collide with the Samahang Bisaya, a group of ethnic bisayan from Aklan and Negros who help building the ANΩfraternity-Feati in late September 1976-77 and these the principal factor of losing the ANΩ name in Quiapo. Despite of that, the Adamas Nu Omega has grown to become one of the oldest and largest fraternity/sorority in the Philippines as their claims. Since their inception, they have established over 50 defunct chapters throughout the three major islands of the Philippines and continue growing, according to them.

The term Adamas Nu Omega is came from the Greek word, which means Omega-perpetual end, Nu-neutral while the Adamas refer to hardness of a diamond and use as their passwords that reproduce hard-headed members.

Like gangs and street lunatics, the Adamas Nu omega banded together in groups to protect themselves and carry out their own justice and retribution, initially had no criminal connotations and was used to refer to a person who was against the Marcos regime.

They extorted protection money from student, passers-by and eventually became  a violent criminal organization known as “amag” during 70’s and 80’s.
