Memphis, TN – Founded 1921 T
he 2018 spring semester has been a busy yet rewarding one
for the ZIPs at UTHSC! Te semes- ter kicked off with our annual event, ZIP Idol, that was hosted at Te Bluff in Memphis. ZIP Idol is a tal- ent show event that our chapter hosts, and many students across all classes participate and come out for a great music filled night. Our faculty band, Te Dentones, made another outstanding appearance, and this year they were joined by the new student band, Te Dentites. Turns out, there is phenomenal musical talent here at UTHSC! Te event had a great attendance; so great that the bands were asked to come back and play for a Senior Farewell party after graduation this spring! ZIPs provided the appetizers and the venue for the night, and all of the proceeds were donated to the Memphis Boys & Girls club.
Faculty Band—Te Dentones Next, we added in a new philan-
thropy event to help raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Te event took place at High Cot- ton Brewery and everyone that came donated money to the charity. Any- one that donated more than $5 had the chance to receive a “Tank You Basket” that ZIPs put together with all the best drinks and mixers. Also, this event doubled as a reward for the D1s making it to the end of anatomy. All D1 chapter members received a free drink on ZIPs to celebrate all their hard work and after-hours in the cadaver lab being over! Further, our ZIPs chapter col-
laborated with UTHC’s ASDA chapter to host a crawfish boil. Te Monarch Dental group from Little Rock, AR and Smile Brands, Inc. co- sponsored the event and supplied all the crawfish and fixings. It took place at the Memphis Yacht Club, and Dr. Richard Smith, a UTHSC alum, generously hosted the event on his dock and riverboat. To top it off, Smile Brands Inc. hosted a draw- ing for free gifts that included an Ipad, Beats by Dre, and a Bluetooth speaker. ZIPs and ASDA supplied all the drinks as well as corn-hole for
people to play. At the end of the day, about 200 people came out to enjoy sunshine and mudbugs alongside the mighty Mississippi River! To treat all our D4 members on
becoming alumnae, on the week of graduation our chapter threw a “ZIP-pin’ Off!” lunch with none other than Memphis’ own Central BBQ provided. Te Alpha Omicron chap- ter secretary, Britta Ristau, made all the seniors individual tooth-shaped cookies as a sweet little treat, and Dr. Stan Covington, Chapter Advi- sor, presented all the seniors their certificates. Apart from all the fun-filled
events, we had many ZIP members that continued to serve elsewhere together throughout the semes- ter extending forth their hands of friendship. Many members served through free dental clinics with Mission of Mercy and Remote Area Medical, and we also have a group attending a mission trip to Ecuador over the summer to do the same. With the spring semester coming to an end, we look forward to a great summer and fall semester as we start to plan the Annual Rush Week for the incoming Class of 2022!
