In order to celebrate “V-day” right, I sat down with my old friend Ray Chessa and instantly dubbed him this week’s campus cutie. Listen ladies he’s smart, athletic and can drink whiskey like a flannel-wearing Lobsterman. Seriously. Sometimes he even wears flannel. When he’s not strumming his guitar, he dabbles in post-modern discussions and competitive belly dancing. Alright, I made some of that up, but he really does play a mean C chord.
Usually found in his natural habitats, which are the engineering building and Lava Lounge, Ray is a senior at Pitt. Oh, and when he’s not studying chemical engineering, Ray parties (as Snoop would say) “like his momma aint home.”
