I've just graduated from college and am now going back to take pre-med classes (chem, physics, etc.). I will be in college, taking these undergraduate classes for two years. There is a pre-med, co-ed fraternity on campus that would offer social opportunities that I don't have, as I am a new student and live at home.
Would rushing be a good idea? I am concerned about how it would look to medical schools come application time -- though it is a (n inter?)national fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon.

I don't think medical schools would care, and if they'll take you, it might give you a set of people with similar interests to connect with.

My sorority sisters became doctors, lawyers, priests, full-time moms, computer techs, artists...We even have a couple of Rhodes Scholars and a Jeopardy champion! I've also known a couple of pre-med students who were fraternity presidents, and very organized ones at that! It is a huge time committment, but also a lesson in time management. Some people in positions of power know exactly what is involved. To me, learning to run a sorority meeting when the pres was unavailable was as good a preparation for life after school as almost any given class (some classes teach more real life skills than most).

If the frat's responsiblity is too much your grades may show it. I would rather see you not join and concentrate your time in your classes, MCAT preparation and quality time volunteering or working in a medical setting.
