It is also visioned to be a student conglomerate that raises the bar for others, through humility in selfless service and excellence through academic distinction.
Since its establishment in 1935, UP ERG has been dedicated to producing well-rounded members and promoting excellence and service. This anniversary celebration is a testament to the organization’s commitment to its mission and its members. It is a week-long celebration that includes 7 distinguished sub-events: Charity Project, Opening Night, Mx ERG, Committee Challenges, Exhibit, Radio Webinar, and ERG Night.

Mx ERG: The Lava Walk
In the search for sheer wit and talent, Mx. ERG, the annual inter-committee pageant of UP ERG, best embodies the forces of nature that will test if the participants have what it takes to be the best. This pageant will commence during Opening Night and the coronation will be held during ERG Night.
Committee Challenges: Through the Hills
In the name of camaraderie and team building, the different committees of the organization will step up as they take on different challenges with the goal of becoming this year’s best UP ERG committee.
