T


he ZIPS at SIU-SDM have been busy this semester. Te new aca-


demic year was “nothing but gold” for the SIU-SDM ZIPS. It started out by having RUSH week with the theme “Go for the Gold with the ZIPS.” Te opening ceremonies consisted of a cookout with games that followed. Ultimately, there were sixteen D-1 students who took home the GOLD by joining XI PSI PHI fraternity. Te new SIU-ZIP members include: Rachel Bayles, Brady Hails, Cole- man Choate, Michelle Hickey, Brent Crenshaw, Daniel Jurgens, Katelyn Genebacher, Alexis Lintker, Emily Gerber, Joey Marsek, Ryann Gil- ley, Rachel Ramsay, Maya Habibi, Dave Tielen, Tara Habibi and Claire Willenborg. Once the “ZIP-lympics” were over,


it was time to move onto the bi- annual ZIP open at Cloverleaf Golf Course in Alton, IL. Te teams par- ticipated in a nine-hole scramble with current ZIP dental students as well as a few ZIP Alumni. Te scramble was filled with friendly competition and plenty of Jell-O shots to ensure every- one thought they were Arnold Palmer on the course.
