“Spain or Boston. If I’m in Spain, I want to have a Vineyard. If I’m in Boston, I think it would be weird to have a vineyard. I don’t know, they just appeal to me.”

Neil Patrick Harris
What is one thing that most people don’t know about you?
“I have a tattoo on my arm of the red string of fate. The lore associated with the red string of fate is that two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, similar to the concept of soul mates, and I’m just looking for the other end of my string.”

What’s your favorite quote?
“I’m on the pursuit of happiness. I know everything that shine ain’t always gold. I’ll be fine once I get it. I’ll be good”
What is your favorite thing about being part of Sigma Pi?
My favorite thing about Sigma Pi is our ACE Project, which stands for Altruistic Campus Experience, which is very philanthropic to our campus, the students, and our faculty. Given my involvement, I like service, so it’s awesome to be able to bring that service to our school and work with Sigma Pi to give back to the SJU community.

What has been your favorite memory at SJU?
I want to say Macklemore because it was a lot of fun. When Macklemore was picked he wasn’t really anybody big, but by the time he got to Saint Joe’s he was big and it was awesome.
What’s the greatest lesson you’ve learned in college?
Take naps, but finish your homework before you go to bed.
