My Dearly Beloved Students,We extend our sympathies to the Servando family and our prayers to the families of ourstudents who were also injured due to hazing.Our school does not condone any formation of fraternities. They are not welcome here.This is our house, not theirs.These gangs are not allowed to use the hallowed name of our school. Brother Benilde is asaint and we will never allow the name of Benilde to be tarnished by any group that usesviolence in order to form a brotherhood.Our school will not stand idly by and let injustice happen. Facts are being unearthed toshed light on what has happened. Individuals who will be discovered to be involved withthe recent hazing incident will be given due process and will be meted out appropriatesanctions.Just say ‘no’ to fraternities when they recruit you. When you say no, you will be a victor andnot a victim. We are currently taking additional, concrete steps to make this home of oursmore secure.Being Benildean is about:Brotherly Care not Brutal Hazings
and Real Friendships not Ruthless Frats.
Therefore, choose God not Gangs.
