| Bio: |
I am a "normal" 21 year old. I don’t like to drink. I like to stay in my room; I’ve been that way all of my life and I’m not planning on changing anytime soon. I'm allergic to peanuts and have asthma so I have never been in great health but I try my hardest to be myself and that’s all that matters (oh, right, grades matter too). |
| Hobbies/Interests: |
Watching Anime, Playing Video Games, especially RPG's--I have many systems. |

| Bio: |
I am currently engaged in trying to find out where I want to go and what I want to do after I can no longer say ‘student’ when people ask me “What do you do?”. I am focusing on exploiting my degree in Computer Science, but I wouldn’t mind utilizing my English degree either. At the same time I am trying to squeeze as much fun out of my last months as a college student while keeping up with a hectic semester. Life in Zeta Chi has been a great part of my college experience, and I am nervous to see what kinds of changes are involved with becoming an alumnus. I definitely want to be one of those alumni that come back periodically and meet the new guys and see the great things (new and old) the house is doing. Oh and I’d like to be rich. |

| Bio: |
I’m the kind of person who will join clubs and organizations until I have very little free time left. Zeta Chi has given me an organization to put my time into, but also a place to relax and unwind in a pressure-free environment after a long day, and a schedule that accommodates all of the time I spend on campus for all of my other activities. When I’m not working on things for the House or campus, I am frequently in one of our social areas with others playing Rock Band, Super Smash Bros., or Mario Kart 64, or playing ping pong or pool. Other times, I find it relaxing pull out my collection of old-school games or to sit down with others for a night of D&D. |

| Bio: |
I could tell you what's on the About Me section on my Facebook, but stalking is not one of my hobbies. As the song goes, I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral (not really) but that kind of shows my personality. I enjoy all types of music, because if you are music savvy you recognized the music lyric in this paragraph. I also enjoy debating politics and history, and I own copies of what could be considered the greatest political works of all time, and yes I have read them. Zeta Chi has been an amazing experience, and I am only in my first year at Baker. It has gotten me more involved with people on campus, but also a group of people I can really relate to, game with, and just enjoy a laugh with after a hard day of school. My favorite quote is “Evil is allowed to flourish when good men stand by and do nothing.” –Edmund Burke |

| Bio: |
I am one of those people that commercials always target. By that I mean I am very, very impulsive, but in a good way. I try to help out where ever I can and sometimes end up over committing. But there is nothing that I can’t learn to handle. Growing up in Colorado, I don’t know many people outside the state, so coming to college has been a major adjustment for me. I think that by joining Zeta Chi I have found a group of guys that understands me and can help me through whatever I might encounter here at Baker. |
| Hobbies/Interests: |
games (video, board, etc.), soccer, ultimate Frisbee, writing |

| Bio: |
I grew up in the Methodist Church and am still active in the church in Baldwin but I question things from both the religious and scientific perspectives unlike many who are religious. I enjoy being around the guys in Zeta Chi and they are like actual brothers to me which is why I choose to join the fraternity since after looking at the other choices I determined that Zeta Chi was the best choice. Joining Zeta Chi was an important step for me because I knew being around the guys at Zeta Chi was a good fit since they cared about who I was as a person from the first time they meet me. My brothers at Zeta Chi have been there to support me and each other through many times of hardship and pain without wanting anything in return which I have not seen in any other group on campus when we call each other brothers we mean they are as close as actual blood brothers to us. Currently I am house manager meaning I take care of the house and try to improve the physical house since I enjoy building and repairing things. |

I love being at Baker University because it is a great school. I love the atmosphere of the school, as well as the ZX house. It has been a perfect home away from home, and has continued to have a continuous growth in brotherhood. With these qualities while being at school, it is bound to spell success in all of my brothers’ and mine futures. |

Born and raised in Lawrence, Kansas. Went to Free State High School. Graduated in the top 10 percent of my class. Enrolled at Baker and my life has been dedicated to long, sometimes stressful nights of physics and calculus. I am usually found playing my guitar on the porch when I need to relax. I am only 20 years old so I really haven't done anything impressive with my life yet. |

I spend a great deal of my time shifting between classes and homework and one of my jobs. After I leave Baker I am looking into attending the University of Advancing Technologies and obtaining a second degree in game design. I hope to be able to create games that groups of people will come to love. For now, I spend my free time hanging out with my brothers and attempting the time that I have available. |

I enjoy playing, writing, and performing music. To date, I own one acoustic, one upright bass, 3 electric bass guitars, and 3 electric guitars. I’m somewhat of a guitar enthusiast and collector. I aspire to learn piano and percussion. I enjoy basketball, baseball, football, and actual futbol. Three things I hope to learn by the time I die include: 1). Learning to effectively drive a manual transmission, 2). Use chopsticks, and 3). Blow a bubble with bubblegum. |
