Description: Alpha Epsilon Delta is the only national premedical honor society. It was founded in 1926 at the University of Alabama and is currently one of the 57 members of the Association of College Honor Societies. Alpha Epsilon Delta supports collegiate chapters in identifying premedical students of excellence and imposing an obligation of continuing achievement upon such students. Alpha Epsilon Delta is not only an honor society, it is also a service organization. AED members are active in their efforts to promote premedical education in the University community through many diverse programs such as the speaker series, premedical newsletters and handbooks, MCAT reviews, tutoring and peer-advising, mentoring, interviewing, and social events. For many students, AED is a principal extracurricular activity. The varied functions of AED provided activities for intellectual development and stimulation of the individual members and a program of service to the Grounds that will include activities of benefit to non-members as well as members.
