Sisir Botta `04
Rush Chair | Nashville,
TN | Chemical Engineering |
Sisir is a survivor. How do you explain how a curry-loving Hindu took MIT
by storm after growing up surrounded by country bumpkins, the Grand Ole
Opry, and pick-up trucks? Although he wouldn't stand a chance against
those kangaroos in the Australian outback, he easily handled his multiple
commitments; he was an on-campus member of the 2004 pledge class,
juggled house commitments, attended IFC committee meetings,worked as a
UROP at the Whitehead Institute, and captained
our B-league basketball team, all while staying on top of his school
work. Since he moved in this year, he is still trying to teach us how he
does these things.

| Hao Hu '04 | Whitestone,
NY | Materials Science |
Hu is the designated driver on pledge trips and random excursions? Look at Hao he holds the lives
of the entire pledge class in his hands. As a sophomore pledge, he has plenty of wisdom to share
with his pledge brothers, especially on girls and how to avoid paying attention in lecture. This kid
from NY not only slicks his way with women but also bangs the stick quite hard at the pool table.
You are in safe hands when Double H is in the driver's seat, but be careful that he may recruit you
for MIT volleyball.

| David Dickinson '02 | Culver City,
CA | Physics and EECS |
At any given time, Dave is probably pursuing the web for random facts.
Though you may think he is doing "research," he is more likely
reading an article on the web about the increased fertility effects of
rodent hairs on orangutans. You might wonder why he cares about
impregnating monkeys (we wonder too), but you can't deny the fact that he
knows a lot about things nobody cares about. Dave returned to Boston from
his year off of spreading his seeds of knowledge in LA, interning at a radio
station. But we still don't have the
answer to the question that has eluded him so long: "Why is it skate
or die?"

| John Suh `03 | San Diego,
CA | EECS |
Three years ago, John made the ultimate sacrifice. He turned down beautiful
weather and a full-ride scholarship to San Diego Community College for
cold-ass Boston and MIT. He constantly yearns for his home, but hopefully his
girlfriend can make his days better. The Suhman takes out his frustration
on the tennis courts, where he consistently schools little Asians. The only
thing that keeps him going is
his life-long dream of building a boat and sailing it to Korea. Not to kill
your dream, John, but you'll probably end up capsizing in the Pacific Ocean
and get stranded on an island somewhere where you'll make best friends with
a volleyball named Wilson.

Ladd Horvath `05
Treasurer | Niceville,
FL | Aero/Astro |
Aye-Laddie!! No, he isn't Scottish; he's just a nice guy from Niceville Florida, right? There's a
lot more to this "nice" guy than meets the eye. He's on the MIT Pistol team, and he's pretty good.
So don't piss him off, or he might decide to show you just how good he is. He's also a
computer aficionado. If you need a movie, a Simpson's episode, or a Family Guy episode, he's
probably got it on his computer. But his computer isn't all that interesting; girls are mostly into
his pistol. So talk to Ladd, he's a really nice guy, even though he shot and killed a kid, but that's
another matter.

Chris Vu `04
| San Jose,
CA | EECS |
For a
man of small stature, Chris Vu sure is easy to find. In case you're
ever looking for him, Vu is the guy in the middle of the dance floor at
parties with a circle of women standing around gawking as he
dances. Still can't find him? Then he must be practicing with his
à cappella group, the Logarhythms. One might think it would be
hard to pin down such an active guy, but that's not a problem with Chris
Vu, because everybody knows him. Come by during Rush, and you can get
to know him, too. |
