<p>I'm interested in joining a health-related frat, and so far I know of Alpha Epsilon Delta and Phi Delta Epsilon. Does anyone have any experience with either of these (or another health frat that I don't know about yet)? </p>
<p>I'm wondering about
- how much they help you, profession-wise
- time commitment during pledging AND as an active
- the people in the frat
- comparisons between the two?</p>
<p>AED is an honor society, not a frat.</p>
<p>I don’t like some of the people in PDE, they are terrible people who you should stay far far away from. My lab partner agrees.</p>
<p>I think that AED is considered both a professional fraternity and honors society. You need to meet the 3.2 GPA requirement.</p>
<p>Honors society just requires new candidates to meet certain requirements and can be inducted almost immediately after membership is paid. </p>
<p>I don’t think the time commitment is close to that of social fraternities, but I believe you have to commit to attending activities.</p>
<p>So AED is not just an honors society.</p>
<p>Yeah I saw that AED was a pre-health honor society, and from the “brotherhood” and “rush” scattered everywhere on the website I assumed it was a frat. So is there an actual pledge process?</p>
<p>Ya, this year, they wore these disgusting lime green scrubs on Wednesdays.</p>
<p>i have a couple friends in AED…i always thought it was frat</p>
