Cornell's only medical fraternity
WELCOME to Phi Delta Epsilon NY Lambda chapter!
Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity creates physicians of integrity with a life-long commitment to our guiding principles of philanthropy, deity, and education through fellowship, service, mentoring, and formal training in leadership, science, and ethics.
Welcome to the Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity, New York Lambda Chapter website, the source of information about the chapter at Cornell University. We are excited to share news of our efforts to bring together pre-medical students of diverse backgrounds through philantropic, academic, and social events.
Following the Lambda Chapter's recent foundation in 2011, the fraternity has grown in strength and numbers. Today, its nearly 90 members serve as leaders across campus: researching in cutting-edge labs, participating on varsity sports, volunteering in the greater Ithaca community, and so much more.
We are proud to invite new members to apply for membership at the beginning of each semester and are looking forward to meeting the Lambda class after the completion of the Fall 2016 recruitment cycle.
