etween socials, rush, community service events and nationals, the


ZIPS at Texas A&M College of Den- tistry in Dallas have been busy this past semester. Te spring semester started off


with the annual ZIPs Chicken Chase social. One lucky D1 was randomly chosen to wear a chicken costume and was “chased” around the Dallas bars by teams of fellow students try- ing to find him. We also competed in Dental Olympics, a yearly competi- tion between the three Texas dental schools. ZIPs had the most mem- bers participating and we were able to bond with the D1s over friendly games of football, volleyball, dodgeball etc. And bring home the Gold! Rush week followed closely after


Dental Olympics. Our rush chairs worked hard to make a recruitment video and plan a lunch and party that all centered around our theme: ZIPs are out of this world! Rush week is notorious at our school for being a lighter test week, giving the D1s a break to have fun with their classmates and get to know the three fraternities we have at TAMU. We had a blast with them! And they must have liked us too because we received the most 1st choice preferences! We can’t wait to get to know our 22 new members over the next couple years. Between socials, our members like


to give back to the Dallas community. Te ZIPs went to Nexus House, a safe home for battered women and chil- dren, where we were able to discuss oral hygiene practices, answer ques- tions and get to know the residents. We also spent a day preparing over 5,000 sandwiches through the Dallas Soup Mobile to give to those in need. Our members also like to make sure we take care of each other

of the stress. Our Secretary also put together Intro to Clinic binders full of helpful tips to make sure our D2s are set up for success. Te semester capped off with our
