“I joined this fraternity thinking I would make a lot of friends and gain a bunch of resources to help me navigate the complex life of a pre-med student, but after being a part of this fraternity for over a year and a half, it has become a core part of my identity at UCSB. The brothers of Mu Delta have pushed me both academically and socially, allowing me to become a stronger, more well rounded person. Being surrounded by people with similar mindsets and aspirations has allowed me to find a home during my last two years at UCSB, and I have been able to even be a mentor to those younger than me, helping them academically. I know that I can always be myself and have fun with the people in MD, and the memories I have made here will be the ones that I remember the most long after I graduate.”

The boys of Mu Delta have been busy to start 2023! From Vegas, to Big Bear, we’ve all had a ton of fun, And we’re looking forward to a great spring quarter!

“Being around the brothers of Mu Delta has constantly inspired me to continue my pursuit of medicine. MD has given me a perfect balance in my undergraduate career of rigorous academics on one side and rewarding brotherhood on the other. I love how close our whole fraternity is and don’t think there’s a more hardworking, genuine group of people on campus.”
