ALPHA OMICRON CHAPTER University of Tennessee Health Science Center


Memphis, TN—Founded 1921 A THRIVING FALL SEMESTER


W


e started off the 2018 fall semester at full force. To get


the ball rolling, social chair Archer Hodges began by planning and invit- ing the Class of 2022 to the rush week activities. On Monday night of rush week we hosted a ‘Meet & Greet’ at a well-known Memphis brewery, Wiseacre, with our current executive members and ZIP mem- bers so the new class had a chance to meet and learn more about our chap- ter. Wednesday night, which is the night that everyone looks forward to, was the annual ZIPs Cocktail Party. Tis year the event was held


at a new venue, Brickwood Hall, that exceeded all expectations consider- ing the venue is owned by a UTHSC College of Dentistry alumnus. It was an exceptional night full of mingling and celebrating the kick off of a new year with nearly 250 attendees! Ten, Friday night was the annual ZIP Flip Cup Tournament. Te games this night got competitive, but the D2’s took home the victory. Overall, it was a great week getting to know and help guide the potential new members. Tey were able to see first and fore-most that Xi Psi Phi values friendship and morality, even if we sometimes get a little competitive, it is only because we hold ourselves to high standards in both our everyday lives and profession. Following rush week, our faculty


sponsor Dr. Stan Covington strongly encouraged the new students to


consider joining our fraternity. He stated, “Being in a professional fra- ternity provides a wonderful outlet to have fun, let off some steam, and share in the highs and lows that inev- itably come with professional school. Tere will be times when you will ask for help, and times when you will provide it.” Shortly after, we happily got to initiate 38 new members into the Alpha Omicron chapter, includ- ing our newest Dean of UTHSC CoD, Dr. James C. Ragain. Not only are we thrilled to have Dean Ragain as a member of our chapter, but we are very fortunate to have to other ZIP members at our school as some of the best leaders with top positions such as: Dr. Covington, Dr. DeSchepper, Dr. Weeda, Dr. Christian, Dr. Colvert, Dr. Smith, and Dr. Schmidt. Initiation took place on Novem- ber 16th in our vice president Corey
