Rush Masters
Name: Veejay Atilano
Major: Asian American Studies
Pledge Class: Pomp Chobpanich Pledge Class ( PC^2)
Family: ROCKS
Why did you join APhiO? I heard a lot about it from friends and I wanted to expand my social and professional network
Why this Excomm position? I chose rush master because it was a position that was overlooked a lot and I wanted to create a rush theme that was more of a movement and would make an impact rather than just having something cute.
Favorite hobby? spending quality time with quality people =)
Favorite quote(s)?
“I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn’t.”
- Marilyn Monroe
“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
- Marilyn Monroe
Your thoughts & hopes for the future of APhiO? My hope is that the future generation of APhiO will continue on the tradition of creating social change in the world and giving back to the community.
Which was your favorite/memorable Service project? Poetry Slam will forever be my favorite service project. To watch these kids perform spoken word pieces about every day life to social and political issues is quite inspiring.
What do you have to say to the incoming pledges? Cherish your pledging process and do not procrastinate
If I could change the world… everyone would have an open mind and an open heart, thus eliminating all forms of oppression.
Any last words?

Family: PAPPPPPPERRRR!!!
Why did you join APhiO? Karina introduced me! and i wanted to do community service!
Why this Excomm position? Since this is my last semester I wanted to do something meaningful. I think that APhiO has made me more outgoing so i wanted to do something that challenged me to be more outspoken. I also wanted to be Rushmaster so I could be involved within the chapter. AND because of my CO VICTOR JOSEPH ATILANO JR.! <3
Favorite hobby? arts & crafts!
Favorite quote? live everyday like it was your last.
Your thoughts & hopes for the future of APhiO? just that people will continue to do community service with a PASSION and to just know that even something you do little to help out can make a big impact.
Which was your favorite/memorable Service project? I really liked the little brothers project that was done on Easter. We delivered lunches to elderly people who couldn’t really go out of their houses and just talked with them for awhile and got to know them
What do you have to say to the incoming pledges? Get your requirements done early!!! Esp. your signatures, don’t wait until the end! AND to have fun while you are pledging, bond with your brothers and make it the best. It’s a one in a life time experience!
If I could change the world…I would give every child a loving and caring home.
Any last words? AHHHHHHH PAPER IN YOUR MOUTH!
