The Xis are a close-knit Fambly of all gender expressions.
Angelina “moonshine” Zheng
2025, course 6-3, she/her
I’m definitely not the life of the party (and have absolutely no interest in being that person), but I can be found helping to pick up snacks and drinks for the party or listening to the life of the party entertain.
Likes arts+crafts, bakes when overly free or overly stressed, uses too many parentheses, and is generally a quiet presence; enjoys being at Xi for the roof, the cats, and the people (ordering intentional). It’s also nice to have the option of painting stuff on the walls if I feel like it + I appreciate that I can experiment with the food I make, have dinner with people, and not spend absurd quantities of time cooking.
Alonso “Fly! You Fool” Hernandez
2025, Course 5, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
What do you get when you cross existential crisis, impulsivity, and orange cat energy? A headache probably, or me! I’m some sort of vaguely human-like entity who enjoys such delightful human activities as scroll the Reddit, pet the Cat (His name is Phillip Screwdriver and it’s an unfortunately fitting name), sell the soul to the Gacha Gods of Genshin (UID: 627267877), and take frequent naps. Here at Xi I enjoy all of the above among [don’t include this but if you could put a link to an among us sound effect that would be amazing] my fellow entities who introduce me to other activities like touching grass or actually doing my psets~
Awen “Nook's Cranny” Gronda
2024+1+0.5, Course 4, they/them
the rumors of architecture majors staying in studio all night are true, but when they're not tooling on models for inordinate amounts of time, Awen can be found at Xi eating, sleeping, and petting their cat (his name is Harvey and he has extra thumbs)
Awen enjoys prompting conversations at house dinners, playing games with their housemates in the front room, and reading on the roof deck when the sun is out. They like making a variety of things such as art, food, and friends!
their peldge name comes from a variety of sources: they played an obsessive amount of ACNH during lockdown, have multiple collections of objects (such as rocks, Beanie Babies, and art supplies), and delight in inhabiting small spaces. one of their alternative peldge names was ankle biter and this will not be elaborated upon.
Callie “ex-Callie-bur” Martin
2024.5, courses 3A and 6-1, she/her
Oh God Oh God! Something's really wrong. Delete things at random ?
👉 ☒OK
☐OK
Soup (shown right) is my cat. Or am I her person? She makes me do paperwork and taxes for her either way.
Ellie “PLEASURE? But I hardly know 'er!” Montemayor
2026, Course 8 + 6-9 (heh), she/they
ellie is a PLEASURE educator, which stands for Peers Leading Education About Sexuality and Speaking Up For Relationship Empowerment -- but I hardly know 'er! (this is her full peldge name.) she likes doing a lot of things she's pretty good at like writing, photography, being gay, as well as things she's particularly bad at (e.g. guitar, fencing, existing). ellie continually vies for the title of most annoying resident, and is definitely a top contender for it (at least in her professional opinion). honestly, there's nothing else to really say, because ellie's two personality traits are really just being gay and being an absolute b****--

Evan “Floppsy” Lofink
2027, Course 18, they/them
Growing up in the desolate, snowy woodlands of Western Montana, Evan trudged up the entirety of the Rocky Mountains to school both ways via domesticated bear. Nowadays, they can be found running along the Charles esplanade and pondering chalk dusted blackboards in the search for the square root of orange, (they’re 22% of the way towards figuring it out). An enthusiast for math, music, community organizing, and the friends we made along the way. Has a cool dog.
Garyson “HSBC” Yang
2025, Data, Economics and Design of Policy, he/him
Hello! Hey! Thats me in the spiral. What am I doing here studying Economics with poor math and shit coding skills? It seems that math and computer science had been taking over more and more disciplines. I should be here decades or centuries earlier, when common sense is ground breaking :( (seriously reconsidering my career goals, perhaps a PhD in political science)
Isbla “boneless” Yu

Jake “radix” Ross
2026, course 18, he/him
Just here to have fun! Skiier, cat person, and course-taker, in that order ever and anon. Hungry for power and not in a course 8 way. Master of the long con. Don't say I'm not warning you! Find me amidst rocks and plants and the sea and the clouds, doing anything but real analysis. Closer to home, find me begging for collaborators in a Scoop n' Scootery order or baking sweet treats and breads.
Sashko “beached” Horokh

A proud parent of Tucha whom I brought home (in Kyiv, Ukraine) as a stray kitten in 2012 and evacuated to Xi after russian full-scale invasion in 2022. Runs Mriya (https://mriya-ua.org/) non-profit that ships humanitarian and medical supplies to Ukraine <3
