A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Delta Epsilon Mu (DEM) is the nation’s premier professional pre-health all-inclusive fraternity, dedicated to nurturing a strong community of tomorrow’s healthcare leaders. Established in December 2014, the Chi Chapter at UCLA continues its steadfast commitment to advance this mission by igniting our collective passion for healthcare to future generations of pre-health students and equipping them with the tools to succeed throughout their undergraduate journeys. Our members exemplify the four pillars upon which we were founded: Loyalty, Dedication, Friendship, and Support.
The guidance I received and skills I attained when I joined DEM have taken me to places initially out of my reach. This organization has been instrumental in expanding my passion for healthcare and dedication to serving my surrounding community. My immense ambition has been nothing but satisfied through the various opportunities I have been given as a member of Delta Epsilon Mu, and I am sure to take all of what I’ve learned as an active with me in my future professional endeavors.
My fellow members of DEM have become my second family on campus. Since joining Chi Chapter during my first quarter at UCLA, I have received nothing but kindness, support, and genuine friendship. I am thankful to have joined a loving community so early in my college years, and proud to now lead this group of such amazing people, all of whom will surely triumph in their own healthcare career journeys, in no small part due to DEM.
If you are looking for a tight-knit, supportive community of like-minded individuals, invaluable guidance on academics and extracurricular activities, and a place to call home on campus, I invite you to learn more about our remarkable organization as well as each of our active members and their stories. Welcome to Delta Epsilon Mu, Chi Chapter!
With LDFS,
Aishwarya Vadivel
