The Alliance has grown to 14 member organizations from different campuses in Washington and Oregon. And on 2003 "the Alliance" has been renamed to be called Northwest Filipino American Student Alliance (NWFASA).

Okay, maybe it isn’t as serious as it may seem, but FilipinOlympics (Fil-O) is definitely a chance for you and your organization to meet and compete against your peers in the Alliance. Created in 2006 by way of Omega Phi Omega, Inc. (KUYAS), Fil-O has a history of extremely friendly and fun competition. The events challenges teams physically and mentally in a safe and positive atmosphere.

In addition to competition, Fil-O is also an opportunity to bring organizations together on a larger scale to promote networking and team building. It is truly a unique event that has become a staple in Alliance activities.
So, what’s it going to be? Will you be representing your organization in this year’s competition? We need your support to make Fil-O successful and to build a stronger foundation for the Alliance!
