WHO WE ARE

We are the UC Santa Barbara Chapter of Delta Epsilon Mu - the nation’s premier professional pre-health all-inclusive fraternity. The members of Delta Epsilon Mu have a wide range of pre-health interests that include, but are not limited to: medicine, nursing, psychology, physical therapy, and dentistry. Delta Epsilon Mu unites its members through brotherhood as they develop both leadership and professional skills.

 Message from the President:

Hello there! We here at the Alpha Sigma Chapter of Delta Epsilon Mu are so excited to meet you.

It is my sincere honor to be able to share the love and family we have been cultivating at UCSB. Since our establishment as a Chapter in June 2019, we have been committed to serving the community, achieving our goals, and building each other up. Together.

Nationally, Delta Epsilon Mu, Inc. was founded in 1996 with the goal of fostering enrichment and togetherness for future healthcare professionals with a wide range of interests. At our core, we embody the four pillars of Loyalty, Dedication, Friendship, and Support.

From the very start of my undergraduate career, I have always felt that I truly found a home in ΔΕΜ. The college experience can be daunting, isolating, and filled with uncertainty – such was the case for me. It has been my time meeting and getting close to my siblings and members that has shown me just how formative these years can be. But, even beyond this time on campus, I am content knowing I have found a group of people with whom I will remain so closely connected for the rest of my life.

I am happy to say that I have found this camaraderie time and time again, and it is something I have the joy of seeing all our Members realize for themselves. It transcends our differences, yet it is built from them. Our stories may not have the same titles. They may not be written with the same words, follow the same plots, or use the same ink; and yet, this Fraternity has become a beautiful library. All of us are undeniably connected, and when we line the bookshelves, we have the profound opportunity to become something more.

I am so grateful for the many Alumni who continue to give back to this organization and act as tremendous resources for our students long after graduation.

As a pre-health organization, we are constantly learning and growing, not just for our careers but also for ourselves and our loved ones.

We recognize the difficulties that lie ahead: academic, extracurricular, or otherwise. Thus, we always have each other’s backs – whether that means destressing, exploring, or anything else.

What’s more, it feels good to be able to participate in an organization with a national network. United by character and bolstered by the four pillars, there is a place for us in ΔΕΜ wherever we go.

There are multitudes of inspiring backgrounds and futures ahead of every Member. If you would like to learn more, or if you are interested in joining us, please reach out. We are always happy to help, and we would love to be part of your next chapter.


With LDFS,

Alex Cheng
