Dear Dub: We Want You!

YOU THERE! Yes, you! Are you a freshman, sophomore, junior? Are you a feminist? Do you like glitter? Do you enjoy porch swings, reversible sequins and purple living rooms?

If you answered yes to any and/or all of the above questions, today is your lucky day because the Dub has ALL of these things and more, and we want YOU to apply! Read on to learn a little bit about exactly who inhabits our magical blue (green? teal?) house on University Avenue! 

Devon “Dev Dog” Ide ’20: Devon, resident collector of fun hats, will steal your heart with her obsession with sunflower seeds and keep it with her excellent cuddling skills. Come for the giggles, stay for the mega bed. Did someone say sad girl music? Devon’s got you covered with her extensive library of Soccer Mommy, Phoebe Bridgers, and any other soft crooning music to get the tears flowing. But don’t worry, she’ll follow up with a spontaneous haircut (or even an eyebrow notch) to lift your spirits. 

Hannah “Hange” Angelides ’20: Arguably the only SLU student who can genuinely pull off a five-paneled hat, you can catch Hange slurping chili from the pub, absolutely killing the game behind the bar at the Hoot, and welcoming friends onto her delightful couch in her room. Best known for eating grass and going fast, we are constantly inspired by her ability to layer striped shirts. 

Izzy “Itchy” Rourke ’20: Proud driver of a 2007 rose gold Lexus previously owned by her grandma, this Lexington, MA native will win you over with her wry sense of humor and strong opinions on Indian food. Catch this new patron of the printmaking studio working hard and hardly working at the Brush Art Gallery. And despite popular belief, she actually is NOT an English major. Who knew? An excellent listener, Izzy can always be counted on for post-Java mozz sticks and fellowship.

Kate “Bangy” Angus ’20: Nicknamed for her bangs despite constant complaints of missing her forehead, Kate, Kangus, Bangus, Bangy, whatever you want to call her, can be found running between the Student Center and the Hill News office and never sleeping. Feeling strange about writing in the third person, she urges you to read about the rest of her amazing, hilarious, smart, compassionate, kick-ass housemates. 

Quinn “Noodle Weenie Dawg” Audsley ’20: Quinn, proud co-founder of our niche meme page, has graduated her house position to resident Tik-Tok expert. Whether she’s puttering around the kitchen, sprucing up the living room, or embroidering in her delightful nook, Quinn can always be counted on for her excellent advice and cuddles. Some other special talents include an impressive Derry Girls impression, nail art, and tearing it up in SLU Funk. 

Shannon “Student Athlete” Doin ’20: Always on her #student #athlete #grind, Shannon can most likely be found smiling in Dana post-practice, smiling in the student center at lunch, and smiling on the St. Lawrence River at an ungodly hour with the crew team. Everyone is always endlessly impressed by her heckin’ clean room and insane work ethic. 

Saorla “Mega Bed” O’Toole ’21: If you know Saorla, you know they’re always down for an intellectually stimulating conversation about the environment, gender, politics, or whatever TedTalk they’ve watched most recently. Always reliable for an herbal refreshment, tea or otherwise, Saorla’s face-consuming smile will brighten even the scariest Sunday. With iconic rainbow overalls and a plant-filled room fit for royalty, you can’t miss them killing it in the Singing Sinners with Devon or serenading the house from the shower.

Amna “Striped Sweater” Al Obaidi ’22: Easily one of the most consistently well-dressed of us Dubbers, our sweet, sweet Amna can be spotted all around campus in her #iconique striped sweaters and beautiful scarves. A devoted and trained Advocate, this global studies major always brings good vibes with her, probably due to her delightful collection of salt lamps. 

Tess “No Longer on Crutches” Maxam ’22: “Hi my name is Tess and I’m a sophomore from Clinton, New York. I’m a bio major with a minor in gender studies, and on campus I’m a member of PPGA, women’s club lacrosse, and live in one of our many theme houses, the Dub!” As our admissions ambassador extraordinaire, Tess can brighten anyone’s day with her positive attitude and iconic giggle.

Steph “Jerky Boy” Merwin ’22: Don’t be mistaken: Steph is NOT Sophie Turner, despite her flowing strawberry blonde locks and deep, deep love for the JoBros (Frankie, wya?). As a chem major in a house full of humanities biddies, Steph can often be found on her academic grind in the living room while watching dating shows on her Roku that she has so kindly blessed us with.
