Intensity. Determination. The will to earn a year’s worth of bragging rights amongst your peers in the Alliance and the coveted Barrel Man Trophy…

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.

Past winners of Fil-O:

2006-2007: Washington State University Filipino American Student Association
2007-2008: University of Washington Filipino American Student Association
2008-2009: Gonzaga University Filipino American Student Union
2009-2010: N/A
2010-2011: Seattle University United Filipino Club
2011-2012: ???

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!
