8. Your fondest memory of being a Phi Psi?
I have too many to count, but living at the Hamilton House during the summer of '06 brings warm fuzzy feelings to my blackened heart; random smaller gatherings with Brothers and just chilling.
9. Your most embarrassing moment as a Phi Psi?
Being so broke I had to wait for Wawa to throw out their rolls so I could eat on days I wasn't delivering pizza; sharting at a rather large bbq and needing to borrow...well, keep forever a pair of boxers from Chris Sheldon; defecating so much I flooded the bathroom after Hooters Night; coming to terms with demons.
10. Your proudest moment as a Phi Psi?
When my grand little, James Hitcherisch, initially wasn't going to take any littles, then got 2...and passed down my new nickname tradition that's still going today; NJE continuing not to devolve into a bunch of date-rapin' frat bros (but rather staying Fraternity Gentlemen); NJE winning Grand Chapter was also fits.
11. Any unique memories from your time as a Phi Psi?
Shenanigans that were sworn to secrecy.
12. Any fraternal advice you would give to an undergraduate Phi Psi today?
Jump into service; even when I didn't feel like going to events they turned out to be a great time and left me feeling great and apart of, and helping out those in need, not to mention leadership, experience, and all that other crap you can exagerate on your resume.
13. When was the last time you visited Rowan or the chapter?

Anything with free food.

I share a house with Josh Bakal (and owned by Wendell Jiao's father), work at the same place as Chris Sheldon, and meet up with Mauve and Hitch from time to time...It's occurred to me that I'm not very good at counting to one.
