The Nation's First Professional Pre-Health Fraternity
Delta Epsilon Mu was founded on the grounds of Binghamton University in New York during the spring semester of 1996. The organization was initiated with the goal of uniting students interested in entering various health professions. The founding fathers united their interests in building a professional co-educational, pre-health fraternity, which could serve Binghamton University students by exposing them to professionals from various health fields. They wanted to inform students about current health issues with the intent of helping students choose a field of interest following graduation and beyond. A large part of the fraternity’s interests were focused on serving the community by uniting people of different age groups, ethnicities, religions and ideologies, who were all joined by a common interest in the health fields.
