AED South Carolina
Beta Honor Cord Policy
|
According
to the National office, Alpha Epsilon Delta is both an honor society
and a service organization. A member is joined into the privileges
as well as responsibilities of membership. Members in Furman University's
AED are at an advantage because contacts between themselves and
other pre-health students, medical/health students, physicians,
educators, and our pre-med advisor are promoted through our Chapter's
activities. Service to the community is at the root of health care,
and the Furman University Chapter, South Carolina Beta, also serves
to promote and unite similarly interested students for the benefit
of the community.
To stay as an active member and receive an honor cord, the AED member
must obtain 15 points per year with 6 of the 15 points devoted to
service within AED. Therefore, in order to graduate as an active
member indicated by receipt of an honor cord, a member would have
to obtain 30 total points over the 2 years (beginning with induction),
12 of the points spent in service to the community. The breakdown
of points is as follows:
