Fifteen
premedical students at the University of Alabama met with Dr. Jack
Montgomery, premedical advisor and professor of organic chemistry,
to formalize the organization of a new premedical honor society. Baylor
University, Samford University, The University of Texas, and the
University of South Carolina established chapters in 1928/29. At the first
national convention at the University of Alabama on April 18, 1930, ten
members representing five chapters and one petitioning group were in
attendance. From these modest beginnings, Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED) has
today become the world's largest Honor Society exclusively serving
premedical education, with a membership exceeding 137,000 in 179 chapters.
In 1949, AED was incorporated in the State of Michigan. In February 1962,
the Society was reincorporated in the District of Columbia as a
non-profit, educational organization. |

The
mission of the Society is to encourage and recognize excellence in
premedical scholarship; to stimulate an appreciation of the importance of
premedical education; to promote communication between medical and
premedical students and educators; to provide a forum for students with
common interests; and to use its resources to benefit health
organizations, charities and the community. The Florida Delta
Chapter was chartered in 1978 at the University of South Florida. |
