The fraternity was reactivated. Brothers Adriano Garcia, Arturo Atienza, Renato Constantino, Bienvenido Ejercito, and Benedicto Balderama were the moving spirits. They also formed the Board of Editors of the 1942-46 Philippinensian. Adriano Garcia, as President of the University Senior Council, headed the editorial board of the first postwar Philippinensian.

They realized that the continuing relevance and influence of the fraternity on University and national affairs depended on its being able to expand and recruit members with potential early in their lives on campus, so the fraternity Constitution was amended to allow admission of members still in their pre-law course. With this amendment, Brothers Leonardo B. Perez, and Froilan Bacungan were among the first post-war recruits.

Somewhere along the line, the scholastic standing rule was relaxed. However, the Alpha Phi Beta has been fortunate since its screening processes have avoided the entry of the less qualified. On the whole, and in the long run,
almost all of those admitted to membership have proven themselves to be worthy assets.

The recruitment policy emphasizing scholarship and academic qualifications was carried over into the early post-war years. It has paid off for the Alpha. The Roll of Editors of the Philippine Collegian, Philippine Law Journal, Philippinensian, and Philippine Law Register from the late 40s to the 80s are replete with Alphans. Since 1940, Alphans have consistently been in the top 10 of the annual Bar Examinations. The Order of Lord Chancellors and the fraternity's Roll of Lords contain some of the more distinguished names in the Philippines serving Government in the Executive, the Judiciary, the Legislature, and the Military,
in legal education, in business and industry, and in the profession. Several Brothers have also been Bar Examiners, an acknowledgment of their eminence
in their fields of practice.

The founders showed the way. The succeeding generations of Brothers have performed equally well. Now, the promise of the Alpha is even brighter with
the maturing of the crops raised in the 50s to the 90s.

The Alumni Chapter has assured that as the fraternity goes into middle age,
it will build on its past to achieve greater heights in the future, and help establish a context where with Brothers standing by Brothers, it will make its place in the sun.

The founders have shown the way. The succeeding generations can do no less.

It remains the responsibility of the resident brothers to provide the well of talent that shall ensure that the fraternity survives as a relevant being on campus; supply the reservoir of ability that will make it a continuing factor in national affairs, and make certain that the honor of the fraternity is unsullied by failure
in responsibility.

Meanwhile, all Alphans have to keep forging ahead with the thought that when one has achieved excellence, he has to strive even harder to remain on top.
