ZIPS members and faculty ZIPS alumni volunteering at Mission Arlington


Te Fall semester was finally here and we were excited to meet the new incoming D1 class! ZIPS began the new school year with our annual tackle box fundraiser for the D1 students. Te boxes were filled with various helpful materials the D1s would need in their upcoming year. Not only did we provide the boxes, but it’s also a tradition that members of our chapter help each D1 organize their materials and lab bench while offering them advice. It’s an amazing opportunity to pay it forward and pro- vide for the D1s in the same way ZIPS members and now alumni did for us as incoming D1s. Additionally, at the end of the first week of school, ZIPS hosted our annual “Back to School Bash” to welcome the D1s as well as the entire school back to Dallas for our 2018–2019 school year. It was a great opportunity to get to know the D1s further and to reunite with our fellow classmates after summer break. We continued the semester


with numerous officer meetings to plan the year’s upcoming events, philanthropy opportunities, and fun- draisers. Each year, the three dental fraternities at Texas A&M College of Dentistry co-host the annual Tri- Frat Halloween Party for the entire school. Everyone pulled out their best

Annual ZIPSgiving Tanksgiving Party


ZIPS members supporting our Dallas Stars


costumes and had a great time. At the end of October, we volunteered at the Soup Mobile where we prepared food for the homeless in the Dallas area. In November, we had the oppor-


tunity to spend a Saturday providing free dental care to those in need in the Dallas community at Mission Arling- ton. We had faculty ZIPS alumni join us at the community clinic to help, and it was a blast giving back to the people of our great city. We rounded off November with our new tradition of attending a Dallas Stars hockey game and our ZIPSgiving party, where members gathered and brought their favorite Tanksgiving dish! Unfortu- nately, the Stars lost but we had a blast rooting them on with our fellow Alpha Pi chapter members. In conjunction with other organi- zations at the school, we participated


in numerous events such as ASDA’s annual Legislative Kickoff where we educated our students on the importance of advocating for our profession and the school’s toy drive for the Community Partners of Dallas. We finished off the semes- ter with one last event, our Tacky Christmas Sweater Party, to celebrate the holiday season as well as the end of another tough yet rewarding semester. Tis year thus far has been filled


with charitable work, new experi- ences, lasting memories and a lot of fun. We can’t wait for what Spring has in store for us. Tanks for catch- ing up with us! Happy holidays and Happy New Year. We’ll see you in 2019!
