Maintain Your Active Status

**All students are able to participate in all activities.**

Freshmen
During your first year as a member, one must attend 4 of the meetings and participate in 3 volunteer events and attend 2 socials, or vice versa, to be an "active freshman member"

Sophomores
You will be eligible to be initiated  by attending 4 of the 6 meetings, participating in 3 volunteer and 2 social activities, or vice versa, during the Fall semester. Also, as set by the national AED, you must have an overall and science GPA of 3.2 at the time of initiation. Any sophomore can be initiated, even if this is their first year as a member of AED.

Juniors and Seniors
After being initiated, you must continue to meet the requirements (4 of 6 meetings, 3 volunteer and 2 social events or vice versa) each semester in order to stay active in AED. Juniors and seniors who are not yet initiated can also be initiated in the spring by completing the above requirements during the fall semester.

**Once you are an active member, you will receive priority over non-active members for events in which there are only a limited number of spots open, e.g. med school trips, open heart observations, gross anatomy demos, autopsy viewing, etc.**
