From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki

For all of you who don't know me I was the person you would see beside Emily or Liz at all times. Very seldomly would you find me by myself or with someone other than Liz or Emily. So I was a, like hell i know the number system...i have been to tip 3 years, east term 1 for 2 years, and 2006 i was a 4th year. Yes, It is true, Emily and I were the ones who started the John Birch fan club. It started in 2005 when I would go with Emily to get her meds and John Birch was there most mornings. We ended up starting the John Birch fan club and this year it started from leaving notes on his office door to making him a shirt during our rag meeting, which he wore to the last dance.

Ok so Liz made me make this page because there was something she wanted Tipsters to know...so i'll tell you the story... One day we were sitting the alspaugh foyer and someone says "what do you regret most from all the years you've been at tip?". Now I couldn't think of any and people were going around..."I regret not coming to East as a second year"..."I regret taking _____ class". And I didn't regret not coming to east as a second year, I had a lot of fun at the Marine Lab as a second year...and i didn't regret any of the classes i took. So i thought real hard and all of a sudden it came to me, "I regret joining a gang the first year I came to TIP. I didn't have much fun..."

So thats my story...As some of you from the Marine Lab in 2004 remember...E-rin (Cabrone), Jessie (Dime), Me (scheisse), Megan (Chinga), and Elise (labich) were the Mini Mafia and we pretty much were a very tight knit group and that was the one thing I regret from all my years at TIP. Not the gang part just the fact that we were so tight knit that I didn't get a chance to know anyone else from the Marine Lab.
