UC BERKELEY CA IOTA
We are the California Iota undergraduate chapter at UC Berkeley, founded in 2007 by Felix Wong and Tony Chen, with the sponsorship of Dr. Bernard Griego.
Through our passion and dedication towards excellence in the field of medicine, we have expanded tremendously since then, with hundreds of new members since our inception. Our alumni have been accepted and matriculated to prestigious programs at UCSF, Harvard, Columbia, USC, NYU, and more, and we pride ourselves on having an acceptance rate to medical schools much higher than the national and UC Berkeley averages.
Our active members are exceptionally hard working and academically focused, with an average GPA far above their major averages and the UC Berkeley average, many having multiple majors and minors. Our actives also balance challenging course loads with many professional activities such as work in research labs, consulting internships, doctor shadowing programs, and many more!
We also have an extremely active alumni network whose work has spanned across the world, pursuing careers both in as well as outside of healthcare.

LEGACY
|
Phi Delta Epsilon is the largest and oldest co-ed medical fraternity in the world, spanning hundreds of chapters and thousands of members across the world. Gaining membership in Phi Delta Epsilon is highly competitive and representative of many traits: that a student is well-rounded, vigilant, determined, and exceptionally capable. As Phi Delta Epsilon, we mobilize our student chapters to volunteer and combat large-scale public health issues, as well as develop professionally with specific programming events tailored to the individual premedical student.
