Alpha Epsilon Delta, Truth I Pursue!

Alpha Epsilon Delta is a nationally organized premedical honor society. AED first became a formal organization at the University of Alabama on April 28, 1926. There now exist multiple chapters spanning the borders of the United States. AED holds bi-monthly meetings on Thursday nights at which guest speakers are invited to address our members. The speakers are of varied backgrounds, ranging from physicians and healthcare practitioners to members of medical school acceptance and recruitment faculty.

Alpha Epsilon Delta is not only an honor society, but a service organization as well. As a group, we provide numerous hours of volunteer service to our community and university. Many of our members volunteer and work in a variety of capacities throughout our region. We invite all persons seeking information about pre-health care education opportunities to attend our meetings.

Important Information

Skull: The skull represents our greatest enemy — death. More especially death is an enemy to us, because we have chosen to fight death not only for ourselves, but also for others

Book: The book represents our greatest temporal ally against our enemy, for it is by means of books that knowledge is wrested from death and by our forebears’ fight is preserved for us.

Wreath: The wreath is our one temporal reward for our ceaseless endeavors to ease the pain and still the cry of humankind.

Esquire's Helmet: The esquire’s helmet indicates that we are not unarmed in our fight against the skull.

Norman Shield: The Norman Shield symbolizes consecration. The shield bears one charge on the honor point—a holy Greek Cross. The shield bears inspection by all who wear it through the ages.

Caduceus: The caduceus signifies truth, speed, accuracy, leadership, and service—unselfish and devoted—to humankind.
