seankennede on Twitter

Fraternity Stuff: 
4. Badge Number? 
131 

5. Pledge Class Name? 
Tau, Spring 2010 

6. Fraternity Nickname, if you remember it? 
Kenny Coco (as you can guess, it didn't stick) 

7. Story behind how you got your nickname, if you remember it?
I didn't do anything stupid during pledging, so my big was pressed for names. Sean Peterson was wasted in Profs place when I first met him and from Sean Kennedy he got Kenny, then some inebriated sorority alum thought I look liked Conan O'Brien (Coco). Needless to say my big had 10 million better nicknames he wished he called me after I got in.

8. Your fondest memory of being a Phi Psi? 
The time that always comes to mind is after some initiation night (I forget which...) where a bunch of us decided to walk to Landmark and back at 2 in the morning just because it was a nice night out. We sang loudly and stumbled wide, while Evan Stone said very charming words to some freshman ladies coming back from a Beau party.

9. Your most embarrassing moment as a Phi Psi? 
Greek Week 2010 Lip Sync. All I'm gunna say.

10. Your proudest moment as a Phi Psi? 
Winning Grand Chapter

11. Any unique memories from your time as a Phi Psi? 
Tons, could probably fill a book so I won't go on about them here.

12. Any fraternal advice you would give to an undergraduate Phi Psi today?
Work hard, play hard philosophy never failed anybody.

Career Stuff: 
13. Year you graduated from Rowan? 
2013 

14. Degree(s) you graduated Rowan with? 
Chemical Engineering 

15. Any advanced degrees or certifications you have? 
No 

16. Your current occupation? 
Application Engineer - MRO Division for Philadelphia Mixing Solutions. 

17. Number of years in that occupation? 
2 months as of writing this. 

18. Any career advice you would give to an undergraduate Phi Psi today? 
You know yourself best, so if you can't even sell yourself nobody is going to be interested in you. Never burn a bridge, even if it's a shitty bridge. Also, 1 year of doing something you don't like is always better than 1 year of sitting on the couch trying to find a dream job.

Relationships/Family/Personal Stuff: 
19. Are you currently in a relationship? If so, with who and for how long? 
My lovely girlfriend (Melissa Komiskey) and I have been dating for almost 2 years now. 

20. Do you have kids? If so, how old and their names? 
No 

21. Hobbies that you are currently into? What do you like to do in your spare time? 
I enjoy running, playing MineCraft, cooking, and going to new bars. 

22. Anything you would like to share with other brothers through the blog regarding your relationship/family/personal life? 
My girlfriend is still finishing up her senior year at Rowan, so I'll be stopping by Glassboro frequently. Expect me to be at Landmark if you see that I'm there through facebook or twitter. Also trying to tailgate the football games hard if anyone wants to join in.
