excellence among MIT fraternities and that we live by our ideals and motto; you
WILL want to be a part of our brotherhood, and thus, you WILL rush us during
Rush 2001 - Is that understood? Outstanding. That is all. Please continue

| David VonStroh '03 |
Harlingen, TX |
Econ/Urban Studies |
We’ve all heard of Venetian blinds...well, it was January ‘01 when Dave blinded
the Venetians with his blazing intellect, charming smile, and pale skin. A
reformed physics major who switched over to urban studies, Dave realized that
particle physics was not the path to world peace. In his spare time, he can
often be found tearing up the competition on the football field or basketball
court. His determination and enthusiasm can also be seen in his dedication to
the community and to God; Dave will spend the next season of his life in
Thailand, working in urban ministries for the poor.

| Nick Chan '03 |
Houston, TX |
Management |
As the most injured person in the house, Nick rightly earned the name Gimp this
year. When all four limbs are functional, Nick enjoys playing pickup basketball
and intramural sports. When Nick isn’t making fun of course 6 majors or
spending time with his beautiful Wellesley girlfriend, he can be found
participating in various student groups such as the UA and Chinese Student
Club. Even with his late start, Nick still makes his presence known with his
witty jokes and amicable personality, which will serve him well in his new Wall
Street finance career.

| Mike Negrete '03 |
Los Gatos, CA |
EECS |
Mike is a man who likes to be on top. He slapped his EECS classes silly en
route to getting a Bachelors and Masters in four years. In addition to being
on top of his work, Mike managed to be a hard-working personnel director last
year, training the fabulous pledge class of 2006. And of course, on weekends
he became DJ Slutty, the best college DJ that Boston had to offer. So what
else is Mike Negrete on top of? Perhaps the answer lies in California.

| Alex Wong '03 |
Somerville, MA |
EECS |
People say that you ought to beware of the quiet one, the guy who is quietly
plotting your downfall as you happily chat your way into destruction. Alex has
set himself up perfectly to strike at anyone around him. He’s athletic. By
honing his basketball and tennis skills, his hand-eye coordination is
paramount. With his mad computer science know-how, he knows what you thought he
didn’t. He’s also well informed on sorority and campus activities through his
girlfriend Anita. Just watch out... you never who will get hacked to pieces
next.

| Eric Leung '03 |
Pasadena, CA |
Biology/Anthropology |
Commonly referred to as Eazy-E, Eric is currently a pre med double majoring in
bio and anthropology. Outside his world of many labs and unending analism, Eazy
devotes much of his time to working with inner-city kids and volunteering at
hospitals in Boston. When undistracted by his studies this lady pleaser is busy
fighting off Wellesley chicks and trying to keep it real so that his lovely
woman back in Cali doesn’t check him. Other times, if Eazy is not out trying to
pimp it, he’s probably in his room playing his PS2 or something of that sort.

Culver City, CA |
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 |
Management |
Four years ago, John made the ultimate sacrifice. He turned down beautiful
weather and 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.

| Stuart Laval '03 |
Winter Park, FL |
EECS |
Who ever said `White men can’t jump'? Anyone who has balled with Stu, a.k.a.
Stiffy, a.k.a. Superman, will admit that some white folk do in fact have `ups.'
When’s he’s not dunking the ball on fastbreaks with the MIT Varsity Basketball
team, he’s either hitting the books with his Course 6 brothers or kickin’ butt
in all Intramural sports. PKT is a force to be reckoned with in every IM sport
in part due to the Stiffmeister’s enthusiastic participation. What is such an
athletic machine doing at a school like MIT? There are two main reasons. The
first is PKT, of course. The second reason can be described in three words:
short, cute, Asian. Sorry ladies, Superman is not available for the time
being...

| Alexander Chang '02 |
Santa Monica, CA |
EECS |
Our Shaggy loves to sing, but this Shaggy ain’t Mista Luva Luva. Often found
camouflaged with a random furry couch, Shaggy and his unshaven ways are far
from reaching Mach 3. However, his b-ball skills are as sharp as they come.
On the court he can be fantastic, taking down opponents like light poles in a
bad Boston storm. Speaking of which, while he may cut quickly to the hole, his
luck on the road hasn’t been as good. Shaggy rear-ended another car this
summer...his response? `It wasn’t me.'

| Craig Wildman '03 |
Sunnyvale, CA |
Mechanical Engineering |
The Wildman is a beast of nature, as he is most happy wandering through the
great outdoors. He is also a force to be reckoned with both on and off the
track. You see, this Silicon Valley native (though you’d swear he was from the
boonies based on his attire) can often be found smoking his competition on the
track and the cross country course, as well as tearing up his classes the
Mech-E-asy way. And, although Craig’s only of average stature compared to the
rest of the house, he’s definitely one of its strongest members. Just ask
around for stories of his 19th birthday, and you’ll hear tall tales of broken
banisters, torn jeans, and bite marks.

Auburn, AL |

`Hamler Time'
My, my, my girlfriend makes me so hard
Makes me say `Oh my Lord'
Thank you for blessing me
With my Phi Kap bros and real big feet
It feels good, when you know you’re down
With all the fine chicks, both yellow and brown
And I know I’m such
And this is a bro, uh, you can’t touch
You can’t touch this!
