About Us

Our Mission Statement: Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity creates physicians of integrity with a life-long commitment to our guiding principles of philanthropy, deity, and education through fellowship, service, mentoring, and formal training in leadership, science, and ethics.

As pre-med students, we live life in the fast lane. We are constantly moving and constantly working to fulfill our academic requirements and other obligations, while trying to find time to unwind and retain some sanity. Fortunately, there does exist a safe haven from all the stresses of pre-medical life—Phi Delta Epsilon, UCLA’s one and only pre-med, co-ed fraternity. While academics is one of our fraternity’s highest priorities, we realize that on the journey to medical school, academics alone does not define an individual. Our experiences outside the classroom help complement our busy schedules and play an influential role in the shaping who we are as individuals. As such, one of the best and strongest aspects of our fraternity is our tight-knit social network. In Phi Delta Epsilon, nothing compares to the brother and sisterhood. PhiDE provides the perfect balance between our academic and social lives. Simply, we know how to “work hard, play hard.”
