Anna Aagenes: This QSA co-chair and and track captain can outrun the fastest Quaker, but it’s her smile that makes you want her as your best friend.
Sam Adelsberg: This charismatic Elijah Wood look-alike is all about peace in the Middle East and scholarly ambition. So why is he in Owls?
Steve Ariel: This reformed Zete party boy was once known as Stripper Pole Steve. Now, you’re more likely to associate his name with “and friends.”
Dasha Barannik: This saucy Slavic Sphinge is truly SPEC-tacular.
JP Beaulac: You’ve probably seen this towering St. A’s prez sporting a popped collar on Locust or holding office hours at Smoke’s.
Joshua Bennett: This Beyonce-loving Sphinge is one part gangsta, two parts poet, all parts sexy.
Justin Biggs: Sure, he might be a big bad Whartonite, but underneath it all, this CityStep exec producer is just one big softie.
Charlotte Borgen: Her caustic wit and ability to cut her own bangs makes everyone love this sarcastic UTB ed — so much so that she was almost affiliated with two Greek houses.
Laura Boudreau: Hippie environmentalist and Wharton hotshot, she’s the dark-haired minx in Sphinx.
Zac Byer: This Jewpublican balances stud gov reform with his duties as a Sammy bro.
Supriya Challa: This Friar Abbottess makes West Virginia look cool and rivals Napoleon Dynamite with her sweet moves.
Darya Cheban-Katz: The artist formerly known as Dana is a Facebook album celeb and a pro at walking in heels… even in Van Pelt.
Claire Choi: This smiley four-time UA and class rep is an “Absolut Choi-ce.”
Ariel Colangelo: When she’s not fulfilling her Class Board duties, this Westchester native is Model Congressing. Or Kite and Keying. Or Friaring.
Brett Copell: A hippie! A hipster! A frat bro? Penn’s friendliest DJ manages to pull off all of the above.
Katonah Coster: This long-time WXPN employee has a sassy sense of style and the height to match.
Annette D’Onofrio: Beyond editing our beloved Features section, this Street ed is quite the cunning linguist.
Lucia della Paolera: Brooklyn. American Apparel. Nylon. Theta. “Cool.”
Ali DeLuca: Don’t let this friendly Friar trick you: she’s not afraid to manhandle her opponents — for a lacrosse win or a drink at Smoke’s.
Ankit Dhir: He may be the president of Penn Masala (read: Brown Town celeb), but let’s be real: we’ll remember him for the ‘fro.
Alissa Eisenberg: Panhel Prez and a former DP ed, she also gets down with Quaker Girls, CityStep and on the dance floor at Smoke’s.
Victor Eng: This self-proclaimed captain of the gays is also in Wharton! You go, Victor Eng!
Colby Farber: Tabard’s bubbly social chair knows more people at this school than are even enrolled — including, but not limited to, street bums and Allegro cashiers.

Some of these DP staffers are a little bit of a stretch. Cultural? maybe. Elite in their cultural-ness? probably not. Julia Rubin and Juliette Mullin are probably the only two that really qualify. Rebecca Kaplan, Becca Greenfield, Kristen Franke.... please try for some unbiased journalism. Making it to the top tier of the DP by default does not make you culturally elite.
Agreed. At least I know who Kristen Franke and Becca Greenfield are, but who the heck is Rebecca Kaplan?
The DP staffers are always listed as cultural elite. It's a tradition that happens with every joke issue every year. Kind of a way to recognize everyone's hard work. If we included everyone who is culturally elite at this school, we wouldn't have room for anything else in the magazine. Also, it's the joke issue, so just laugh and move on.
Sorry you're upset about not getting in.
Glad to see you've got me down, but here's some real "cultural elite" for you:
Benjy Brooke
Sophie Cavoulacos
Cecilia Corrigan
Thompson Guster
Lee Huttner
Kathryn Lipman
Kaegan Sparks
Liza St. James
Yu Tazawa
So true. But these people are actually cool and the Street list is a joke, right? Adding these ones would just make the others look bad. (I don't know who Lee Huttner is though.)
Some of these DP staffers tend to be some a extend. Social? maybe. Elite in their cultural-ness? most likely not. Julia Rubin and Juliette Mullin are probably the only two that actually qualify. Rebecca Kaplan, Becca Greenfield, Kristen Franke.... please try for some unbiased social media. Reaching the top tier from the DP by default doesn't cause you to culturally top notch.
