Phi Delta Epsilon International Pre-Medical Fraternity Marist established a chapter of this international fraternity in 1996. Phi Delta Epsilon's mission is to foster and achieve bonding among physicians of high moral character, devoted to education and philanthropy for a lifetime. The purpose of this organization is to vocalize and take action upon students' environmental and social concerns and to educate the Marist College Community about both global and local issues. One of the ways that we do so is our annual Earth Day celebration in which we invite people from the college community and outside institutions like Scenic Hudson and Clearwater to come together and spread awareness. SEGA works on campus issues such as recycling, sponsoring lectures, and undertaking community service.
Membership is open to all students of any major.
Students are nominated at the end of sophomore year or the start of junior year. Membership in this honor society is noted in the commencement program. In addition to the honor of membership, Sigma Zeta students assist in judging at local science fairs and in tutoring.
