Street got to sneak a peak at the sultry moves of some of Penn’s biggest men on campus — and their even bigger egos — during rehearsals for BMOC, Alpha Chi Omega's philanthropy event going down at the Troc on Tuesday.
Street: You’re working on your Masters in Government Administration. How is it straddling the undergrad/grad domains?
Natalie Vernon: The personalities: it's like going from a hipster party past its prime (Public Financial Management) to a Beige Block mixer (PSYC 001).
Street: Why are Midwesterners like yourself so darn friendly?
NV: Maybe there’s something in the corn?
Street: What's the strangest SAC request you’ve ever received?
When I wake up in the morning, I worry about what to wear. I’m not worried about how my outfit will look; instead I’m worried about how it will hold up under the pounds of wet clay sure to come flying at me during the day.

Street: Who would win in a celebrity death match: Sphinx, Penn Track or QSA?
Anna Aagenes: Sphinx and QSA could unleash the power of sphinx and the rainbow respectively, but the track girls have some impressive muscles from our lifting.

After the Times outed the Ivy Plus Society as the ultimate pretentious dating pool — appropriate pedigree required — we thought we’d round up similarly gauche happenings on and around campus.
I have several nicknames — none of them good — that I would like to share with you: Negative Nancy, Pessimistic Polly, Debbie Downer and Fatty McLovehandles.
Street: Most underrated thing about Penn? Overrated?
Raja: Underrated: The WALK. Overrated: Penn boys.
Street: Favorite Penn designer?
RG: It’s great to see so many students designing.
Last Friday night, a mere 12 hours before I would sit for the impending doom that is also referred to as the LSATs, I called my mom for the requisite night-before-the-exam confidence booster.
Friars and presidents of the Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils, seniors Alissa Eisenberg and Shawn Woodhull sit down to talk with Street about each other, their love of running Greek life and New Jersey.
Street: You’re both very involved and talented people.
