What is your most memorable PDP memory?

The most memorable PDP memory I have would be being part of CMU PDPsi during its early years. Being able to see the growth and accomplishments of PDPsi definitely stands above anything else. One of our events (the Self Defense Clinic) even made the local Pittsburgh 11o’clock news on TV HAHA!! From seeing the colony achieve associate chapter status, hosting Pennsylvania State University, attending the first National Leadership Retreat, and attending the first National Convention, I feel that I’ve really made the best out of my time here at CMU. Oh yeah! learning about the dark side from Ryan is also very memorable too HAHA

Something you've always wanted to do:

I’ve always wanted to eat more… My stomach is pretty small and I hate it because I get full really easily =_=;;… maybe gain some weight as well…

Hidden Talents?

I really enjoy expressing myself through art, which has become a hobby and I guess a talent of mine. Such as making banners, AIM icons, designing t-shirts, fliers, or making posters. Sometimes I get so into what I’m doing I loose track of time and nothing can bother me. When this happens I get this really good feeling that I can’t describe… HAHA…

Why I Pledged Pi Delta Psi:

At first I pledged Pi Delta Psi because I wanted to be a part of an organization that could make a difference on campus. I felt that through pledging I could boost up my organizational, leadership, team working, and creativity skills since you can not learn these through textbooks. But as pledging progressed, it became more and more emotional. I realized that my original goal of boosting these skills were becoming trivial compared to the bond of brotherhood I was developing with my pledge brothers. Soon I began to feel that this bond of brotherhood became my primary motivation for me to complete the pledging process. Now, even after having crossed for almost a year and a half, this bond still continues to push me forward to excel as a brother of Pi Delta Psi.

What’s the name of your “monkey” and why? I named mine Jamal.

I named mine King Kong because in my mind I feel like I am King Kong but in reality… I am only marcel :’( …


**Webmaster's Commentary: You had me at "King Kong".
