Pledge Class '06 Spring
Alex Schwendner '09
Mathematics (Course 18)
Alex alternates registering for his classes using course 18 numbers and with course 6 numbers. It doesn't really matter, and he learns what he pleases, in so far as is possible. He enjoys science fiction, writing computer programs to solve mystery hunt puzzles, and ballroom dancing. He's also written a parody of The Matrix based on linear algebra, with a plethora of really bad math puns. You should stalk him down and get him to talk about math or to play Magblast.
Pledge Class '06 Fall
Adam Seering '09
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Adam's a Computer Science major who likes making stuff work. From the half-dozen refurbished laptops in his desk drawer to the furniture layout in Dungeon, he enjoys finding elegant, if occasionally gloriously overteched, solutions to problems. His physical location is quite unpredictable, though it is almost always within a meter of his laptop. If you're trying to figure out whether he's in the house or halfway across the country, it's probably best to simply poke him online.
David Farhi '10
Mathematics (Course 18)
It is a little known fact that David is a small, furry rodent. Yep, it's true. When he's not living the nocturnal lifestyle, he's looking around tiny cracks in the floor for scraps of food or materials for a nest. Numerous attempts at domesticating him have been attempted, but to this day he remains a creature of the wild.
Kevin Hwang '10
Chemistry (Course 5)
Kevin is the product of a lab experiment gone horribly wrong. His body is so heavily mutated that it is a wonder that his body functions properly. His physical appearance is so shocking, it is hard to tell the difference between him and a platypus. Naturally, his condition is a fascination to hot TAs working at Whitehead who are studying phenomena such as he. Kevin holds out hope that, through science, horrible atrocities against nature like himself could some day be cured.
Pledge Class '07 Fall
Yuri Lin '11
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Thetanus Minutia, also known by her common name Yuri Lin, is easily the smallest member of the genus Thetanus. Identifyng the Yuri is very simple if you can remember these three unique traits. 1) as previously mentioned, her small size. 2) an excessive fondness for anything containing high concentrations of sugar, 3) a strange fascination with mallets. These creatures are rare, so if you spot one in the wild be sure to take note of the occasion.
Emily Pittore '11
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Emily Pittore occurs naturally in northeastern Massachusetts. A wild Emily can be tamed by an offering of chocolate or free books. Her natural habitat is a PC but she will often stray from her nest to exercise or to construct costumes. Occasionally your Emily may tool or even punt. Don't worry, this is normal behavior and will soon pass. Emilies can be trained to do tricks! Try teaching your Emily to repeat phrases or do simple tasks such as ring a bell.
Katya Radul '11
Mathematics (Course 18)
Katya Radul was recently inducted into the Epsilon Theta Hall of Fame for becoming van certified before David. This amazing feat was accomplished while still a pledge, a singularly daring act which had never before been successfully attempted. She has taken her newfound fame and spent a summer performing with The Amazing Institute Traveling Circus. She will sign autographs, but no photos please.
Laura Schuhrke '11
Mechanical Engineering (Course 2)
Laura Schuhrke is the house's first cybernetic member. She runs on solar power and is almost indistinguishable from a live human being. She can be found hanging around MechE labs, waiting to be tuned or helping with precision work only a robot can do. Her internal batteries last about 24 hours and can wear out if they aren't kept charged.
Alyssa Kersting '11
Linguistics & Philosophy (Course 24)
Alyssa Kersting, one of Jessy's nine sisters, suffered from cholera from an early age. Although doctors said she would never live, she pulled through, and after an amazing recovery, decided to explore the world. She wound up at MIT, after discovering and documenting over twenty new languages. Now she sells oxen on the other side of the Charles.
Pledge Class '08 Fall
Robert Arlt '12
Physics (Course 8)
Robert can't decide which state he's from.
Rebecca Krentz-Wee '12
Nuclear Science & Engineering (Course 22)
Rebecca currently has the longest hair in the house.
Alex Dehnert '12
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Alex read his pledge manual.
Reuben Aronson '12
Mechanical Engineering (Course 2)
Reuben has read all of Lord of the Rings.
David Benjamin '12
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
David knows how to make a computer draw a teapot.
Shawn Pan '12
Chemical Engineering (Course 10)
Shawn likes to ice skate.
Rebecca Jensen-Clem '12
Physics (Course 8)
Becky knows all about stars.
Pledge Class '09 Fall
Tony Valderrama '11
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Jayson Lynch '12
Physics (Course 8)
Kelly Alioth Drinkwater '11
Biological Engineering (Course 20)
Alioth is an exchange student from Ursa Major who travelled here to learn more about this quirky 'life' phenomenon we have on Earth, and how to manipulate it to her devious ends. She is easily mesmerized by the antics of hamsters or a nice skritch behind the ears.
Stephanie Cheng '11
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6)
Chinua Shaw '13
Nathan Benjamin '13
Sally Wolfe '13
Daniel Fremont '13
Casey McNamara '13
Andrea Dubin G
Earth, Atmosphere, & Planetary Science (Course 12)
Matthew Sooknah '13
Matt was (will be?) born in the year 2991 AD in the Alpha Centauri A system. He was considered the greatest child prodigy to ever live - at age 7, he built the first two-way time machine using exotic matter and some duct tape. But in the year 3000, the infamous Y3K bug caused his time machine to malfunction, leaving him stranded 1000 years in the past. The accident also damaged the parts of his brain that caused much of his genius...but he still got in to MIT.
