Our History
Phi Delta Epsilon MD Alpha was colonized on March 6, 2015, and officially welcomed its founding class on April 2, 2015. Shortly thereafter, on November 7, 2015, the MD Alpha Colony was formally chartered and recognized. On February 11, 2016, the chapter welcomed 20 new members into Alpha Class, the first incoming rush class to be accepted to MD Alpha.
Since that time, Phi Delta Epsilon MD Alpha has remained strong, welcoming over 18 classes, with our most recent being Tau Class (Fall 2025). Today, MD Alpha has over 30 aspiring Physicians of Integrity within its ranks, each member exemplifying the fraternity's guiding principles of Philanthropy, Deity, Education, and Equity.
During the Fall 2025 semester, MD Alpha celebrates 10 years of Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical Fraternity's presence in Maryland, becoming the first institution within the state to start a colony. This milestone honors a decade of academic excellence, leadership, service, commitment, and dedication to better the field of medicine. Commemorating this achievement with our incredible alumni pool, mentors and partners, and strengthening our relationship with the Baltimore community and entire Maryland region, working with our neighboring chapters MD Beta (UMD) and MD Gamma (JHU) to continue fostering the next generation of physicians of integrity.
