  • If you leave early, you will not receive the full amount of points for the GBM

“Can I rush PHIDE and be in AED at the same time?”

Yes! Because PHIDE is a pre-medical fraternity and AED is a National Honor Society, you can be in both organizations if you wish. Both organizations have a point system and are volunteer/event heavy, so it’s all about what you think you can handle!

“I missed a meeting. Where can i find the information that was discussed?”

After each GBM, the slides with be posted to both Canvas and our website under “Meetings.” If you still have questions after reviewing the slides, contact one of our executive members!
