Ateneo de Zamboanga University

The Ateneo de Zamboanga University (Filipino: Pamantasang Ateneo de Zamboanga), also referred to by its acronym AdZU, is a private Catholic co-educational basic and higher education institution and a branch of Ateneo in Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. AdZU members have a reputation for being inactive, hence the title "AdZU robots" given by AdMU members, but usually, only one member is ever active on the server. One event they were known for was the AdZU Cheating Incident, which caused panic among AdZU members causing their sudden decline, and is more commonly known as the incident before the Palig Crisis.
==History==
On October 7, 2021, after the entry of Ateneo de Manila into AteneoCord, members were inquiring about expanding the server to cater to other Ateneo schools. u2 then created a poll asking members to pick which branch of Ateneo to expand to first, but instead of one, the members voted to expand to all of them.u2.

News about an All-Ateneo server started spreading across AdZU Senior High group chats. It eventually spread to AdZU Junior High students through friend groups and club group chats, and the member count rose rapidly. Although the member count of AdZU students increased quickly, there was no activity from them nor Iloilo and Naga members. Because of this, a conspiracy theory was slowly coming to light that Naga, Zamboanga, and Iloilo members are government robots.u2. (2021, November 3). #💬┃general-chat. AteneoCord.

Members started interacting with each other while still debating about whether they should call them robots or not. Most of what members discussed was if students studied in AdZU for free. Server members also created different memes to humor the existence of Zamboanga and Iloilo students. 
Around two weeks after the first member joined, some members, specifically Raider, noticed an increase in activity and new members joining the server. Apart from members repeatedly calling them robots, they started comparing AdZU with a scandal video similar to the infamous "Joaquin Montes" video.
[filler haha funny]
The AdZU member count reached around 117 in January 2022 due to increased exposure to the server caused by one member named itai. He started sharing the link through Facebook Messenger chatrooms and posted the invite to his club's Facebook page.
