The first batch initiated was only one pledge, Bro. Mayo Monilla, Bodega Boy - Lone Ranger Batch 1974. As his batch name shows, he was initiated in a warehouse somewhere in Municipality of Daraga from his baptismal, prelim and final rites.
After Bro Mayo, came the SIGNOS TRECE Batch. They were composed of idealistic students who eventually molded the chapter on what it is today.
Gamma Xi produced good and disciplined members who ventured to the various branches of work, from the government services to the private sectors.
