Aleph Yodh He (Hebrew: איה) was an American professional medical fraternity for Jewish students.[1] It went dormant in 1921 when it merged with Phi Lambda Kappa.
Aleph Yodh He formed in 1908 at the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery. It operated with three divisions: Aleph Yodh He in the east, Phi Lambda Kappa in the West, and Zeta Mu Phi in the Midwest. Its publication was Medic, which was published quarterly starting in January 1915.
At a convention in Chicago in December 1921, these three divisions merged into Phi Lambda Kappa, discontinuing the use of the name Aleph Yodh He.[2] Around the time of the merger, Aleph Yodh He had some 350 members.
