Mu Epsilon Delta (Script error: No such module "Lang".), also known as MED, is an American national co-ed fraternity for those who are interested in or currently studying in the pre-medical field. It was established at the University of Tennessee at Martin in 1965.

History

Mu Epsilon Delta was founded in 1965 at the University of Tennessee at Martin.[2] The co-ed fraternity is a service organization and is recognized as such. It functions as a non-profit, national health science, honor, and service pre-professional organization and operates for the benefit of its members. This organization is intended to provide information about the medical field and to promote campus interest in the medical professions.[3]

Symbols

The symbol of Mu Epsilon Delta is the Caduceus, which features two snakes on a winged staff.[4] Tracing its lineage back to Greek Mythology the Caduceus is most commonly associated with Hermes, the "messenger of the gods".[5] The similarity of the Caduceus to the unnamed staff of Asclepius, the Greco-Roman god of medicine is what largely led to its wide use as the symbol of physicians, the US Army Medical Corps, and pre-professional fraternities such as Mu Epsilon Delta.[6][7]

The colors of Mu Epsilon Delta are red and gold.[2] The fraternity's flower is the red rambling rose. Its motto is "With purity and passion I pass my life and practice my art." Its pillars are brotherhood, service, and leadership.[2]
