Bio:
I'm a small town kid who moved to the big city and like many of my brothers, didnt really know much about fraternities or have much interest in joining one. Then sunday dinners came around and like a freshman eager for some good food, started going around to different fraternities. Met some really fun guys at Delta Chi and decided it was something i wanted to be a part of.
I'm a hockey player who enjoys a variety of other activities as well.

To those reading,
I try to stay pretty casual. I talk a lot, sorry. I am a huge fan of any sport really, except basketball. I am on the Northwestern Club Ice Hockey team and Sailing team. Other than Rush Chair, I am "house playboy." If you want to get in on chilling let me know, I like to meet new people and show them how awesome D-Chi really is.
Stay Classy,
Eric- (brovechkin)

Can You Dunk?: Alas, I cannot. But I am 6'4", 200 pounds of pure lean cuts of meat. I was raised on green chile chicken enchiladas, and that builds you up strong. Rick calls me "Soft". Matt Deutschman calls me "Soft Serve". But please, this is the guy who scored 20+ in Delta Chi's lone victory over Phi Delt in white league basketball. You can't take that away from me. ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE! I'M CERTIFIED!!!
Bio:
I'm a sophomore journalism major at THE Northwestern University. I enjoy the world of television and I hope to make it big time with one of the national sports networks - ESPN, FSN, Comcast Sports - anything that doesn't involve covering high school track. Not that I don't enjoy high school sports; I was on the La Cueva High School (Go Bears!) tennis team for a couple years, during which I rode the bench to two state titles. By the way, LCHS has won 8 straight, and Sports Illustrated ranked us the #21 high school for sports back three or four years ago. So what I'm saying is, I want to aim high. I'm not sure if I want to anchor, produce or report in the real world, but I'm doing my best to get some experience while I'm here at NU. I work on a show on the Northwestern News Network called SportsNight. I've produced, anchored and reported. SportsNight won the Emmy for Best Newscast at this year's College Emmy Awards for a show I produced. That's something I'm very proud of, but I don't ever bring it up in conversation because then I'd make an ass of myself.
Moving on, Delta Chi took a big spot in my heart this year. I was a spring pledge, the last of the Kappa class. So it took me a bit to get into the swing of things. But now I've found a niche, I believe, as the Rush Chairmen, along with sterling specimens of manhood like Rick and Dale. I've also been known to organize a tailgate or two, force the women's swim team into playing corec softball with us and bringing Theta over for dinner. I'm known for other things, like the nickname "Two-Pump", but that's an entirely different affair, squire.
Three quick notes:
1. Respect the 505
2. I own a pair of purple Crocs
3. Danielle Spencer...she's full go...and the net is full...of ball
