PHI DELTA EPSILON Since the founding of the first ch.iptcr at Cornell in 19U4, Phi Delta Epsilon has oniwn to its present 49 active chapters. Such close bonds of interest and friendship are formed during the school years that the fraternity now has thirty Graduate Clubs, making Phi Dee E a lifetime association for its members. The University of Pittsburgh Chapter. Nu. was established in 1912. Annually it presents to Pittsburgh Medicine a national figure in the medical profession who gives a lecture in Mellon Institute. This lectureship was founded in honor of Dr. R. R. Huggins, Dean of Pitt Medical School from 1919 until 1938. Nu holds monthly dinner meetings which are followed by a medical program, such as a local speaker or a movie. The social calendar usually includes four affairs during the school year. In recent years the fraternity has organized a system by which the upper classmen privately help any of the members who are having scholastic difficulties; this promotes better and a closer relationship among the fraters. Over half of the 1953 graduates are members of Alpha Omega Alpha. The Graduate Club ,it Pitt is very active, presenting two social affairs, brunches, rush stags, and a graduation banquet every year for the undergraduates. 1952-33 officers: Marshall Levy, President; Paul Rogal, Vice President; Irving Golding, Secretary; Arthur Pasach, Treasurer; Jerry Aarons, Social Chairman; Dr. Philip Rosenthal, President of the Graduate Club and Chapter Coordinator; Dr. Leo Criep, Faculty Advisor and Graduate Club Chairman for the Annu:d Huggins Memorial Lecture.

ZETA PHI Zct;i Phi, Women ' s National Medic, il Fraternity was organized at Syracuse University in 1900 by Dr. Emma Clarke. Its symbols Light and Life were chosen since medicine deals with life and doctors can bring light to many homes. Theta, the Pitt chapter, was installed in May, 1928. At present, Theta chapter of Zeta Phi includes fourteen active medical school members and over one hundred alumni. Theta chapter became a member of the Interfraternity Council of the School of Medi ' cine in 1941 and has twice won the Council ' s Scholarship Plaque Award for the highest average grades of its members, The immediate purpose of Theta Chapter is to afford the women in medical school a social and educational society when they can meet. The highlights of the fraternity ' s social season are the annual pledge dinner held to honor freshman members; the initiation and banquet for sophomores and the farewell dinner in honor of seniors. Dr. Tryphena Humphrey is the faculty advisor of the fraternity. In 1952 an annual award was established to honor the student, male or female, who has shown outstanding perform. ince .ind i romisc during the junior and senior cleckships in Pediatrics. [ 167
