The organization was founded by Michael Ismael Flores (aka Ancient Mike) from Baliwag, Bulacan, who first joined a dedicated P.E.

All 8 pioneering members were initially hardcore head-banging, ear-pounding cheer drummers; hence, the name "Bangers" was coined.

The original chant had a slower tempo and lower pitch (just like that of Vanilla Ice's Go Ninja).

Under IPEA, the organization was placed under the advisory of Mr. Robinson Laxa (1994-2007), Mr. Raymond Anselmo (2008–2016), Mr. Teodoro Dela Peña (2016–2019), Mr. Al Denn Lozada (2019-2020), and Mrs. Pauline Gabayan (2020-Present).

The original logo of the UST Yellow Jackets was designed by Franco Cachero (Batch '97, '99).

A wasp, or the yellow jacket, was then added by Alfred Tanopo (Batch 2003) beneath the revised logo to further define the identity of the group.
