TIP Relic
From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki
(Redirected from TiP Relic)
A TIP Relic is an object, usually one of eccentric nature, treated with an air of veneration as a tangible embodiment of TIPster spirit. TIP relics are usually held by a fourth year and at some point on the last night passed down from TIPster year to a 3rd, or sometimes 2nd year. The recipient in turn will return to the same campus and term the next year, to hold and make use of the Relic as they deem proper, and then the end of the term pass it on in turn. TIP relics are most common at East Campus, possibly because the courses there are more literary and philosophical and therefore the attending tipsters are more traditionalistic and communal on average.
