Xis maintain close relationships with their AlumXi and frequently hold social events and other gatherings for all Xis across the decades.

contrary to my peldge name, i take great pride in teaching people how to set things on fire SAFELY. i also like welding/stitching things to be set on fire and making fake fire in the form of pretty lights and touching grass. i am not the audrey who dormspams about photography.
Claire “thrice in a lifetime” McLellan-Cassivi
2023 but it’s complicated, courses 12 and 16-ENG, any pronouns
Astronomer, WMBR DJ, science fiction librarian, musician, enjoyer of 80's music and comics, LARPer, little guy, Trekkie (or Trekker, if you prefer), collector of cruft, etc. I'm always excited to share my interests. And yours! I love Xi because it's full of so many people who do so many different and amazing things. There's always something fascinating to talk to people about here!!! Additionally, Xi let me play the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" multiple times every dinner for a whole summer, and still are friends with me. I feel like that says something. Who it says something about is another matter entirely.

Grace “sunshine” Gardner
2024, course 21A, she/her
I love space, rowing, and being outdoorsy! At tEp/Xi, there's always something new to learn, whether it's about building secret passageways, good books, or the newest music. Even though I'm a part of many communities on campus, tEp is where I come home and kick back at the end of the day.

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)

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.
