HISTORY
In October of 1904, Aaron Brown and eight of his friends founded Phi Delta Epsilon at Cornell Unversity
Medical College. At that time, there were many doors closed to Jewish medical students and physicians, doors
which would not fully open until after World War II.
In 1904, it was not uncommon for American medical schools to have quotas limiting admission of Jewish students,
and medical fraternities. So Aaron Brown and his friends decided they would start their own fraternal organization,
guided by the precepts of philanthropy, deity, and equity.
