That’s where you find Shay. Standing 6’2” with the broad shoulders of a Division I walk-on and the quiet stare of a guy who never raises his voice because he doesn’t have to. In a house full of loud-mouthed pledges and chaotic sophomores, Shay is the undisputed .

But “Top” isn’t just a physical title. It’s a job description. As the House President (and unofficial head of the recruitment team), Shay controls the flow. He decides who gets a bid. He decides when the party starts—and more importantly, when it ends. When a rival frat tries to crash a mixer, it’s Shay’s hand on the doorframe that stops them cold.

If you can provide more information or clarify your question, I'd be happy to try and assist you further.
