Delta Epsilon Mu
Delta Epsilon Mu, Incorporated (ΔΕΜ) is an American professional fraternity for students and professionals in clinical or applied practice with interests or focus in pre-health or health-related fields. It was established at Binghamton University in 1996.
In the fall of 1995, Binghamton University students Marianna Strakhan, Teri Broklawski, Debbie Amste, and Ellen Hoffman began planning a pre-health fraternity to unite students interested in entering various pre-health professions on campus. Broklawski recruited Sherine Banton, Wendy Cooper, Wendy Goldstein, and Keri Weintraub to help solidify the foundations of the fraternity. These eight students presented the Student Association of Binghamton University (SABU) with 100 student signatures in support of the formal establishment.
In January 1996, the SABU formally recognized Delta Epsilon Mu fraternity as a student organization. The coed fraternity advocates for health care and education by participating in fundraising, outreach programs, and service activities.
In February 1996, the fraternity hosted its first formal recruitment event, selecting 36 students of various pre-health interests to become the founding members of Delta Epsilon Mu. Its National Founders' Day is recognized on May 3, 1996, in commemoration of the date the first ratification documents for the fraternity were signed.
Though the founders had no expectations of the future growth of the organization, word of the fraternity's establishment met the ears of students at the University of California, Davis, which eventually formed the Beta chapter in 2003. From 2003 to 2009, active charters were issued to the University of Maryland at College Park, the University of Central Florida, the Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of California, Merced.
The fraternity's first national convention was held at the University of Maryland at College Park in 2013, where the first national bylaws were ratified. The first recognized national executive committee, headed by newly-elected national president John "Jake" Koster and national vice president Bradley Dmuchowski, brought on a new vision for continued growth and establishment of infrastructure. In 2015, the national fraternity was recognized as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation by the IRS.
Delta Epsilon Mu is a member of the Professional Fraternity Association.
The letters Delta, Epsilon, and Mu were selected for specific meanings. Delta represents fellowship, loyalty, and connection with a shared creed and ideology. Epsilon was selected because it is the astrological name of several nearby stars; it stands for achieving distant goals through cooperation and hard work. Mu represents barely visible entities that have normal influence but have the capacity for significant impact when brought together.
