San Beda College is well known for its strong community and a Bedan's graduation from college does not end his or her relationship with San Beda. In fact, Bedans bring to the practice of their professions and the exercise of office the culture and the traditions of Benedictine education.
The San Beda College Alumni Association (SBCAA) currently handles and manages the alumni network as part of its efforts to keep the Bedan spirit alive and intact among San Beda's graduates and alums. The SBCAA holds yearly the greatly anticipated Red and White Ball, usually at the NBC Tent located in The Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. The Red and White Ball serves not only as a reunion for Bedans but as a social gathering of prominent people in Philippine society, as well.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“The gold-digger in the ravines of the mountains is as much a gambler as his fellow in the saloons of San Francisco. What difference does it make whether you shake dirt or shake dice? If you win, society is the loser.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
