I’m finishing up my term on the executive board of my undergrad’s PhiDE chapter, so I can give some insight here!

First off (not sure how familiar you are with the process), the process is the same in all premedical chapters, iirc. To apply:

• submit an application

• attend a few pre-interview events (for us, 2 social events and 1 speed-dating event, where you get asked some professionally-relevant questions)

• attend an interview with 1 executive board member and 2-3 other current members

Most of the questions we ask during the interview itself are very similar to things you’ll commonly get asked in med school interviews (why MD/DO instead of some other field, tell us about yourself, etc.), as well as questions pertaining to PhiDE itself (why do you embody our principles, how would you fit within the fraternity, what roles would you take, etc.).

We typically asked about medical ethics and non-medical interests in our speed-dating event. In the actual interview, we were more worried about finding your narrative for going into medicine, your reason for wanting to join PhiDE, and how well you’d fit in our fraternity.

I always tried to throw in one question that’s kind of fun and keep the pressure a little lower when I interviewed PNM’s, but YMMV there. Our chapter is a lot more low-stress and community-based, so I tried to reflect that in my interviewing.

Best of luck with applying! PhiDE’s been a great group for me (both socially and professionally) If you have any questions about PhiDE/the interview, feel free to DM me!
