There are many different aspects to life at phi chi, but we have presented a few here. If you have any questions, please feel free to email our recruitment chair at the address listed at the end of this page.

• Rent starts at $400/month, which includes Wifi and all other utilities. This is significantly cheaper than other apartment options within the area, and our members take out less money overall in loans because of this.
• Room quality increases from year to year so it is your advantage to become a house member as an incoming student. Room selection for future years is based on seniority, and within each class year by officer positions.
• The meal plan consists of two house dinners a week. Each house member cooks only twice a semester, so it is easy to pick a low-stress time to cook, then benefit from having Monday and Thursday dinners already made for you for the rest of the time.
• Phi Chi is about five blocks from the Sorrell Center and most house members walk to class and avoid having to pay for a parking pass. It is also within walking distance to popular restaurants and bars in the nearby Blackstone District and Midtown areas.
• Many incoming house members pay substantially less for studying resources (such as First Aid and Pathoma) since upperclassmen usually pass down their copies.
• Having house members representing all four years of medical school is an extremely valuable resource to help guide your studying.  They are also very helpful for dealing with the most stressful parts of medical school, like anatomy classes, the USMLE Step 1 exam,  selecting or preferencing third and fourth year rotations, and the match process.  It’s great to come home and have dinner with people who have been through the same thing you are struggling with, and can answer your questions and give some helpful tips and tricks.
• By living at the Phi Chi house, you will also be surrounded by several classmates.  Many people form lasting friendships by living in the house together, and medical school is much easier when you have others around who understand what you’re going through and can listen.
• Events at the house are organized around test schedules and include an Orientation Week BBQ, Around The World Party, and other parties/social gatherings. Phi Chi’s location and amenities (large TV room, fire pit/patio, pool table, etc.) make it a great place for socializing. We host the rest of the UNMC medical school at these events, and it is very nice to be at your house when the night comes to an end.

• Rooms are filled as incoming members make a deposit of $200.00.  Selection order is determined by the order in which we receive deposit checks, so if you would like to select a better room, get your deposit in early!  (You get the deposit back when you move out, as long as you haven’t caused damage to the room.)  Make the deposit check out to Phi Chi Medical Fraternity, but address the envelope to our treasurer:

• • Alternatively, we can also take deposits via Venmo, ask the recruitment chair for more information.
• We also host traveling medical students, so it is important for us to know when you plan to move in so we can have your room ready on time.  As soon as your plans are made please send an email to our Recruitment Chair Brock Calamari (bcalamari@unmc.edu) to let us know when you’ll be arriving.
• Upon your arrival, you will receive keys to the house and your room. As always, member will be around to help you get situated. Your lease agreement will be presented during the first house meeting in August.
