What is AEΔ?
Alpha Epsilon Delta (AEΔ) is an international honor society for pre-medical students and the largest pre-med
organization in the United States. AEΔ is also the world's largest honor society exclusively serving pre-medical
education, with a membership exceeding 124,000 in 174 chapters.
AEΔ History
On April 28, 1926, fifteen premedical students at the University of Alabama met with Dr. Jack Montgomery,
premedical advisor and professor of organic chemistry, to formalize the organization of a new premedical honor
society. Baylor University, Samford University, The University of Texas, and the University of South Carolina
established chapters in 1928/29. At the first national convention at the University of Alabama on April 18, 1930,
ten members representing five chapters and one petitioning group were in attendance. From these modest
beginnings, AEΔ has today become the world's largest Honor Society exclusively serving premedical education,
with a membership exceeding 144,000 in 186 chapters. In 1949, AEΔ was incorporated in the State of Michigan.
In February 1962, the Society was reincorporated in the District of Columbia as a nonprofit, educational
organization.
