The guiding principle of Deity is antiquated in terms of the fraternity's religious founding as our chapter has no religious affiliation. We apply Deity in terms of the divine power of healing and of the relationship between a physician and their patient. The foundation of a physician's relationship with their patient is trust, honesty, and respect. As members of Phi Delta Epsilon, we strive to embody each of these qualities with the intention that, within the near future, these qualities will be essential to our future career as physicians.
