These years were trying times of political 1971 at the U.P. so that the fraternity founded their own political party which is named KAKASA. The C.A.S. at that time was the dominant college within the university with regards to the logic of numbers which therefore proved that the TAU GAMMA PHI is a group to reckon with.

These times were brotherhood and nationalism is so intense made manifest the productive effort of the Triskelions.

Martial Law was declared on September 21,1972, so that the fraternity and together with other organizations became the target of military harassment and espionage because the then government believe that these fraternities posed a threat to the order and stability of the Marcos regime. A lot of fraternities were infiltrated in order to divide the studentry politically and creates intrigues or even troubles to disorganized the unity and true essence of brotherhood.
