Meet the cuties of (Strip) Mod 27a, Tyler, Jose, Billy, Peter, Alex, and Brian! These fun-loving gentlemen can be found singing ‘Let It Go’ in their backyard, practicing for Strip Mod (we’re all in for quite a show), and throwing neon paint at friends on Friday nights. Together, this eclectic group participates in the Freshmen League, GLBTQ, UGBC, researching for various causes, Arrupe, Appalachia, and more. They’re cuter than puppies, sweeter than candy, and 4 out of 6 of them are single, so get to reading before they’re taken!
