UST Yellow Jackets

Established in 1993, the UST Yellow Jackets is the official pep squad of the University of Santo Tomas.

History

Before 1990, there were no Yellow Jackets yet, and the UST basketball team, then known as Glowing Goldies, relied on the team's loyal followers for support. The 1990s saw eight Thomasians form the UST Bangers, led by Michael Ismael Flores.

With the help of fellow Thomasians, mostly from the University's football and baseball teams, they acquired 3 bass drums, 4 snare drums and 1 pair of cymbals. The PE Department enlisted the help of Mr. Mike Silbor and Mr. Andres to serve as =of the Philihhgudfhguizagjknzsgopportunity for the UST Bangers to prove their worth, and they created many of the beats and cheers the University still uses to this day. The Seniors Basketball Team won the UAAP championship that year. The PE department awarded them with their first set of Sto. Niño bass drums and snare drums. Mr. -=.

0 Troupe (SDT) collaborated for the first UAAP cheering competition, the Jollibee Chi-Cheer Kayo Contest, which was won by UST.[1] UST won the championship until 1996, when UST decided to withdraw from the cheering competition in the UAAP, and instead p In 1996, female members wererughgh8dgidjgijgikdjgidjkmv9ixc the UST Yellow Jackets (YJ). It was also in 1997 that the group started to integrate o[i[ji[io[jiin order to establish its presence during the games of the UST Tiger Cubs. This arrangement continued until the separation of the High School's PE program from the UST-IPEA in 2001.

In 2001 the UST Yellow Jackets, after years of service to the community, was awarded its long-overdue recognition as a legitimate university-wide student organization by the UST Office of Student Affairs and Community Service (OSACS). It was also during this year that the organization's Constitution and By-laws was drafted and its first set of officers inducted with Mr. Franco Lorenzo Cachero as its President.
