Merry Christmas! This week's brother interview is a fun one featuring brother Marc Chaty, '00! Since Chaty is a rather unique person and very popular among the chapter brothers, we decided to field some extra questions on Facebook for him to answer. I think you will all find this interview to be a nice treat and a great read to get us through the next few weeks of the holidays. We will return with the brother interview series starting again in the new year!

8. Your fondest memory of being a Phi Psi?
I can’t narrow it down to any one specifically. There were far too many. Between the War Room in Rozycki’s mansion park apartment, to the Uncle Bill trip down to Delaware, to our football…throwing…events, or locking Randy in his room, and donut fights on Rt 55 they all hold a special place in my heart.
9. Your most embarrassing moment as a Phi Psi?

Yes. Plenty. Too many to remember. The one that sticks out though, is the first mixer we had with (greek letter)(greek letter)(greek letter) aka: the local sorority in which the conversation went something like this:
[Sorority Girl (SG) to Armando]: Why did you join Phi Psi?
[Armando]: Because Chaty joined.

(Bite me, that was funny at the time.)

Ask yourself, what would Brian Hancock do, then do the opposite.

If you drink, don’t drive. If you drive, don’t drink.
If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, sit next to me
If at first you don’t succeed, have Cassino do your homework for you.
Don’t shake it more than twice, they’ll think you’re playing with it.

13. When was the last time you visited Rowan or the chapter?

Facebook Questions:
28 Mike Bramley Who?
How existential of a question you pose. Who are any of us? Where did we come from? Why are we who we are? And where are all my missing left socks? Can any of us truly answer, with 100% certainty, any of these questions? Probably, but that man is better than I.
29 Brian Journey Who is your daddy, and what does he do? -Or- Why Phi Psi? Why did you look around Rowan and say to yourself "No no, none of these will do, I want to put in countless hours of work into something that may very well fail, just to see what happens."

Bill, he’s retired
I often joke (and steal from Groucho Marx) that I would never be a part of something that would have me as a member, so I started my own. But in reality, why put the effort into something that may fail? (ask my exes, bazinga) Easy. It was the right choice. I wasn’t a huge fan of the current choices and saw too many friends miserable during hell weeks, or what have you. Then the option for something new was brought to campus by Rich, and it was a no-brainer. Which is fortunate considering I lack one.
30 Mike Bramley I think i had the most popular question
False. I’m sure there are more popular questions out there. Like, “how ya doin’?” or ,”sup?” or “why did you shake the baby?”
31 Rob Newby If you could eat one brother and assume his powers, who would it be?
As an undergrad or having just graduated I would have said, Rizzo, because, “Hi, can I have your number, I’m Mike Rissotti.” But, now, I’d have to go with Tim Francis. If you had seen big blue early in his college career, then for him to get all slim and marry a cute German chick… He’s definitely working with a power none of us could possibly understand.
32 Sean Kaiser If you could be in a family tree other than your own. Which one and why?
Easy, Sorchini, it’s the other 27. Come on now!!
33 Greg Finn Clearly the 27th was the better day to sign the charter, but why?
Because the 27th was a Thursday and we had our installation banquet on a Saturday which was also tax day.
34 Sean Kennedy How does it feel answering this 100 question long interview?
This was only question 34. If you guys gave me 100 questions, I’d have taken the time to answer them. And I haven’t run out of inane answers yet. I’m really enjoying these interviews. Good addition to alumni relations.
35 Joshua Bakal Can you tell me if this is a rash, or herpes?
Don’t worry, it’s just rash. But, next time, I recommend you make that cheap prostitute put a condom on both of you.
36. Bryan Gunn Chaty, would you dance, if I asked you to dance? Would you run and never look back? Would you cry, if you saw me crying? And would you save my soul tonight?
I can be your hero, Bryan, I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away. But it’s gonna cost you and I can’t guarantee that you’ll be coherent for most of it.
37. James Martin (Batistic) Favorite whisky
Anything free, since I’m not a big whisky fan. However, my favorite bourbon whisky… Maker’s Mark. That’s hands down, in my opinion, the best blend of flavor and price. I prefer cooking with Knob Creek, but that becomes an expensive meal. And for as cheap as it is, Jim Beam (white bottle) ain’t that bad. The following is my recipe for an amaretto manhattan:
4 ounces Maker’s Mark
1 ounce Disaronno
Dash of sweet vermouth
1 tsp maraschino cherry juice.
Shake with ice
Serve in rocks glass. Those martini glasses are too dainty.
38. Jason Vergara If you had cookie dough for hands... would you eat them?
I think the more important question is would they bake in the hot sun? Think about this. It’s a scorching summer afternoon, you head out to your car that’s been sitting in the sun all day. The moment you touch your steering wheel, your hands start to cook and you no longer have hands made of cookie dough… they’re now cookies. And I’ve never been able to make soft cookies, they always crumble. So, there I am, speeding down the highway, handless, with crumbs in my lap, trying to steer with the nubs left behind. Try explaining that one to the EMTs that show up after you wrap your car around a tree. It’s just you, your crumby nubs, and a lap full of popcorn. I should note, that in this scenario, the air bag instantly made popcorn upon impact.
39. Jeremy Morgan Having an infinite supply of water and two containers, one for 3 gallons and one for 5 gallons, how would you measure 4 gallons?
And what about the third one, ‘doh. When Bruce Willy be running around central park wit Samuel L Jackson. SAMUEL L JACKSON
James Martin Jeremy that question is so easy!
There’s a “your mom” joke in there.
DVD Extras:
Deleted Scenes
“It’s probably some gay sex thing.”
“Does she make you wear the helmet?”
“Hey Chris (Cassino), you should be a Phi Psi.”
“Hot Beef!” “That’s me”
The random Sunday night trip to AC after taking a gambling survey
(in a southern drawl) “This town is so boring. I should know, I’ve been here my whole life” – “How old are you, 16?”
Stubby Clapp
“I got my dookie back”
“Do you like guys in ties?”
