Gamma Omicron Delta Sigma was formed July 7, 1990 at Mabolo, Cebu City Philippines by seven disciples which they call themselves.
Founding
The organization, were originally established by the seven (7) disciples:
- Jason Ruiz - Micheal Ruiz’s elder brother

- Micheal Ruiz - Jason Ruiz’s younger brother
- Emmanuel Baron - Elmer Baron’s younger brother
- Ryan Biano - 6 remaining disciples closest friend
- Kit Jesson Seno - 6 remaining disciples closest friend
- Albert Ditan - Elmer and Emmanuel’s cousin
The seven disciples were a very good friends. They were brought up by their families in a Christian way of life. On July 7, 1990. Albert Ditan celebrated his birthday together with his friends (the other six founders). On that occasion the seven disciples agreed to rename their group to "GODS". They celebrate every year the founding of "GODS" and at the same time the birthday of Albert Ditan. On July 7, 1995, on the fifth anniversary of "GODS", the seven founders agreed to branch out their group and recruit new friends. They decided to form a new Society (now Fraternity/Sorority) which would be known as "GAMMA OMICRON DELTA SIGMA". At present the group has already successfully sprouted chapters at their respective schools and at Mabolo, Cebu City, the Mother Chapter.
