Biography:
After graduating from Father Judge High School, I asked myself, “How can I get involved at college?” I decided not to continue with rowing, but to experience college from a non-rowing perspective. I decided to rush a number of fraternities and in the end, I choose Phi Kappa Sigma. The main rain I choose Skulls was because of how great the brothers are. I believe the brothers of Skulls are men of integrity and honor, which offered me a huge incentive to join. I also liked how I had a lot in common with many of the brothers. I care about education, sports, and the focus of making my college career as fulfilling as possible at Penn State and Skull House.

Activities: PSIA, Wrestling
Biography:
My name is Dan Aizin. I am from Marlboro, New Jersey. I joined Skulls because after meeting some of their members, I saw it as a place I can enjoy myself and grow as a person. I was also able to meet one of the brothers who was from the town right next to mine, which we both share a mutual friend through my favorite sport wrestling. The brothers really made me feel welcome during rush. One brother invited me to the house during the day to just hang out and meet the brothers, which was something no other fraternity extended to their rushes. My decision was made after that. I wrestled throughout high school. I am also an avid graphic artist. I enjoy watching football, wrestling, and the Olympic games.
