History
Samahang Ilokano was founded in the 1940s as a fraternity to unite Ilocano-speaking students. Ilocano-speaking students from Northern provinces would pursue higher education in universities away from home and seek fellow Ilocanos for company and protection.

As the fraternity grew, it attracted scrutiny from other fraternities. The growth of the member population also sparked uncontrollable brawls and riots, some of which landed members in prison. The Genuine Ilocano gills (GIG) was formed as a group for SI members who were incarcerated and soon accepted members from within the prison.

Power struggles within the fraternity led to further separation of members. Hence, the birth of another faction now known as the United Ilocandia Fraternity/Sorority (UI). The lack of organization created tension between the three groups.

Unity and expansion
During martial law, the leaders and founders of the different groups agreed to unite the three organizations. This led to the creation of an umbrella organization, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the name Confederation of Ilocano Association, Incorporated as a non-stock, non-profit, and non-dividend corporation. Members of UI and GIG often do not use CIAUI or CIAGIG, preferring their respective original faction names. This reorganization occurred in 1971. Despite significant changes within the structure, the ultimate purpose of the Samahang Ilokano still stands as "to cradle the Ilocanos".

Symbols
The Samahang Ilokano seal includes a gear with laurel leaves underneath and a white dove in flight above. On top of the gear is an arrow and a red snake. The gear symbolizes the aspiration to develop one's potential in many endeavors. The laurel leaves represents the members' goal of academic and professional excellence. The dove represents freedom, friendship, and peace. The arrow points upwards to acknowledge the Supreme Creator. The snake represents new life and the ability to conquer fear and survive in the wilderness.

Activities
