What is your most memorable PDP memory?

Hmm, so many memories, it's hard to choose one... the day I crossed... all those road trips/parties, especially all those times driving back at 5am... and all those nights I spent making flyers and graphics for our parties at Stony... but I can't forget... our after-Asian Night 2000-party (which happened to be my birthday) at Village Pub... haha...

Something you've always wanted to do:

Skydive, drive an Indy car, fly a Jet... guess I've got a need for speed.. oh.. and bowl a 300 game.

Hidden Talents?

Able to drink liter after liter of Coke and still pass out 10 minutes later, maybe the ability to actually lift and carry *Cartman (Stony guys know what I'm talking about..haha) or... Does eating my weight in candy qualify as a talent? =)

Why I Pledged Pi Delta Psi:

I pledged Pi Delta Psi because I felt that the fraternity could help educate me about my culture. Being born in the US and raised with English as my primary language, I became "Americanized" and didn't really know much besides the typical Chinese holidays. Pi Delta Psi opened my eyes and showed me how important culture and traditions are to each ethnicity. It defines who they are. I also pledged Pi Delta Psi because it was a young fraternity. I wanted to be part of something that I could help build and contribute to... and not just be a "number". Being part of this fraternity has given me brothers and memories that will last a lifetime.

With a name like M.A.C.K., the ladies must think you're a heartbreaking, super-playa pimp daddy. How do you show them that you're actually a sweet, gentle, compassionate gentleman, and that the pledge name does not make the person… the heart makes the person?

Well, first off, I'd say "Look, its an acronym..." hehe... I've heard so many guesses of what my pledge name means... some pretty funny. But seriously, I don't think that there's anything I can do to show them, all I can say to that is... the people that truly know me and know what kind of person I am, can see that I'm not a "heartbreaking, super-playa pimp daddy" that some might think I am... get to know me and you be the judge.
