Phi Chi provides for its members the means to make their medical school experience more reward- ing and more enjoyable. The need for comfortable living and study space is fulfilled by the separation of the uhousef' into three buildings: two for living quarters plus the Playhouse-scene of all social and recreational activities. The social calendar is full and includes one major affair each semester plus several less elaborate Satur- day night parties and a number of TCS. The academic program provides a forum for infor- mal faculty-student contact, and the enthusiasm with which the Wednesday evening speaker series has been received this year attests to the value of this undertaking. The fraternity participates in the pro- fessional fraternities athletic league, and the recently completed all purpose court is in use throughout the year. But the most important aspect of Phi Chi is its membership. This is a diversified group of men having in common a deep interest in their profession and loyalty to Phi Chi. Friendships are formed here which will endure well beyond the years at medical schoolg in this lies the greatest benefit of the Frater- nity. 151

Phi Delta Epsilon was founded in 1904 at Cornell University College of Medicine. Our Omega chapter received its charter from the national organization in 1922. The primary purpose of medical fraternities in our estimation, is the maintenance of high academic and ethical standards in an atmosphere of comradeship with colleagues. Special activities include: the Phi Delta Epsilon Lectureship, in which a prominent medical personality speaks to the Ann Arbor medical communityg practical examinations, which are administered to freshman members with special effort made to support academic achievementg and social activities which include the formal dance with the alumni chapter each spring. Plans are now underway to rent or purchase a meeting place for the fraternity, and such facilities should be available in the near future. These plans include scholastic, recreational, and social facilities available to all members, Rick Swartz C705
