Phi Delta Epsilon is UC Berkeley's only co-ed international medical fraternity, open to pre-med students planning to pursue an M.D. or D.O. Members attend guest speaker events, study groups, and networking opportunities with physicians and alumni. The fraternity also runs service events benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and hosts its annual Anatomy Fashion Show fundraiser. The experience combines professional development, a big/little mentorship structure, and a close-knit community of future physicians.
