HCIU: Why do you like best about being in a fraternity?
Matt: There’s always something to do in the house. You can never be bored there.
HCIU: Why did you decide to come to IU?
Matt: My family is a big IU family, and the business school is great here. Also, my dad went here and is a huge IU fan. When my older sister and I were younger, he used to tell us that if we said Purdue more than six times, our tongues would fall out. I was always too scared so I said it four or five times, and then my sister said it more than six times, but her tongue didn’t fall out.
HCIU: What do you like to do in your free time?
Matt: Watching movies and I like to read. I’m kind of nerdy, I guess.
HCIU: What is your favorite memory of college so far?
Matt: Our ski trip with the house last year. It was good to bond with the brothers, and we went with a sorority so I got to meet new people, too. It was also my first time skiing.
HCIU: What relationship advice do you have?
Matt: Always be honest with the person you’re with. If you lie, it’ll end up catching up with you.

Matt: I want to study abroad in Milan, and then after graduation I want to work for the state department, and eventually end up working and living in Florence, Italy.
HCIU: If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be and why?
Matt: Balanced. I’m involved in a lot in and outside of school, and I give a good amount of time to do everything I do. I’m pretty committed, and I also think I have a good sense of humor, which helps.
