Alpha
Epsilon Delta has certain requirements for membership. These requirements
are as follows:
1. Applicants must attend meetings this semester !
2. Applicants applying for full membership may first apply during their
third semester (full membership status requires completion of third
semester). Transfer students must have a minimum of at least one complete
semester at LSU.
3. If an applicant has less than 60 hours on their transcript, he or
she must have a 3.5 GPA. If greater than 60, a 3.3 GPA is required.
A 3.2 science GPA is also required (biology, chemistry, physics, and
mathematics). Advanced placement hours are not include in the hour or
GPA requirement.
4. Students must achieve active status in the semester of application.
This consists of 9 activity points distributed as:
1.
At least 3 meetings during the semester (This will only be excused
if applicant has a valid MCAT practice course receipt, or their class
schedule if that is where the conflict lies.)
2. You must obtain 6 service points. This means that you may attend
any combination of AED-sponsored volunteer projects and ongoing projects.
If all five come from projects, great. If all five come from Earl
K. Long, great.
3. These are basic requirements. Each and every applicant is encouraged
to volunteer as much as possible, as it gives beneficial experience.
5. Application forms must be complete with signature and chapter.
An official transcript (no degree audits), your overall GPA, our science
GPA, and a $5.00 application fee (which will be included into the
$90.00 membership dues) are required at the time of application. A
reliable e-mail address is mandatory. Complete applications are to
be turned to Dr. Lynn's door in 229 Life Sciences Annex.

Attendance at all projects must be monitored, on YOUR PART, by your

project, you must get the volunteer supervisor to provide you with documentation
that you gave "x" number of hours. If your name is not on
a list for a project, then you will not receive points. No exceptions,
for meetings nor projects.
