Erin met Cristina in the fall of 2012 when Erin was rushing Delta Phi Epsilon. Cristina chose Erin to be her little, and the rest was history.

No, we are not related!

Erin met Katie when she was pledging Delta Phi Epsilon, and the two really became close over school breaks when the town of Geneseo emptied out.

Erin met Cal a few months after Erin met Max. As Max's older sibling, Cal has known Max for his whole life, and even though Erin hasn't known Cal for all that long, she can't wait to have Cal as a sibling too.

They lived together for 3 years after that and continued with their shenanigans as though nothing had changed.

Max met Tylor during his first year at Alfred State. Tylor initially put his phone number in Max's phone as "Tylor ❤️", which obviously meant they were destined to be best friends.

Max and Colin met in 1st grade, and he and Max have been best buds all throughout high school and into college.

Without a doubt, Colin is the biggest troublemaker of the group and is well known for stepping on the back of a sandal or crunching a bag of chips you are eating. However, after all the years, he has been one of the best friends anyone could ask for, even with all the torn adidas sandals.

Max and Adam met in 4th grade, and became the best of friends as the years progressed. They spent countless days together playing sports, music, and all around goofing off. The best of times were had during Summer Soccer camps.

As high school came to a close they both decided to attend Alfred State to continue their debauchery for years to come.

Max and Shane met during their first year of college at Alfred State. Shane was initially referred to as "Smart Guy" by Colin and Max, but eventually became more than just a study buddy, and one of Max's best friends.
