A Message From Our President
Delta Epsilon Mu is more than just a professional pre-health fraternity—it is a family united by our pillars of Friendship, Dedication, Loyalty, and Support. The Alpha Xi Chapter, established in 2018 at Nova Southeastern University, is devoted to empowering students who are passionate about pursuing health-related careers by offering mentorship, resources, and a service-oriented environment that fosters both professional and personal growth.
Since joining DEM in my second semester of undergrad, I have built friendships that will last a lifetime, mentored future physicians and healthcare leaders with the brightest futures ahead, and gained a sense of belonging that has made every moment of my undergraduate experience all the more meaningful. DEM has given me a community where I can thrive academically and personally, and it has shaped me into a stronger student, leader, and individual.

One of the most rewarding parts of being in DEM is the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for service and healthcare. Each member brings unique experiences and strengths, and together, we create an environment of collaboration, learning, and inspiration. In this fraternity, we not only prepare ourselves for the challenges of the healthcare field but also uplift each other to grow into compassionate leaders. I am extremely grateful to be surrounded every day by people who show up for one another and strive to do better, give back, and make a positive impact.
Philanthropy is also at the heart of who we are. Through fundraising events, service projects, and our commitment to supporting local and national causes, our chapter has the privilege of giving back to the community that supports us. These experiences remind us that healthcare is not only about individual success but also about making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
Our chapter is built on the foundations of academic and professional excellence. Every member plays an essential role in driving our mission to promote healthcare awareness, leadership, and service in our community. We are committed to making a lasting difference both on campus and beyond. I encourage you to explore our website, learn more about our initiatives, and see how DEM can be part of your journey.
Sincerely,
Mahi Desai
