From Wikibbyo

Zelman is the proud home of the Nesquik Bunny, the mascot of the glorious chapter. In 2013, Zelman voted to officially change their mascot to Bender, the robot from the TV show Futurama who was notorious for having a nihilistic outlook on life and was constantly inebriated.

Zelman has had a harsh past, for it never had the "prestige" that the other chapters had. That, combined with poor leadership and lack of recruitment up until 2010 put Zelman on a path of folding. However, things have been going uphill since David Bernstein became G'dol. The board size has tripled, and active membership has tripled as well, and it's just the beginning of the year.
