This Friday, September 6, 2024 at 5pm, the brothers of Delta Alpha Mu invite you to a night of fun, flirtation, and fierce bidding at their Purchase a DAM Pledge by the Pool event. The charming contestants up for grabs are none other than the fresh-faced pledges of DAM. These aspiring brothers are ready to win your hearts, and perhaps, if you’re the highest bidder, your evening. Come prepared to make a splash and claim your perfect date as the stakes rise and the excitement swells.
First up, meet Bobb, the 18-year-old mystery from Schnecksville, PA, who’s as intriguing as he is elusive. An undecided major, Bobb is a true jack-of-all-trades when it comes to sports, with passions ranging from swimming and baseball to wrestling, football, and even horseback riding. When he’s not outdoors camping or diving into his latest athletic endeavor, you might find him quietly observing the world around him—ever the loner, ever the wallflower. But don’t mistake his reserved nature for shyness—Bobb embraces his eccentricities and wears them like a badge of honor. If you’re looking for a date who’s as unpredictable as the adventures he loves, then bidding on Bobb could lead to a truly unique experience.
Next up is Rio Dela Cruz, a 24-year-old California native with the laid-back vibe of Laguna Beach and the drive of a true student-athlete. A Political Science major with his sights set on making waves in the world, Rio is also a key player on the WU Basketball team. Whether he’s dominating on the court, hitting the gym, or cruising around campus on his skateboard, Rio brings his A-game to everything he does. But don’t let his athletic prowess fool you—this guy’s got a soft spot for 1950s diner dates, late-night walks, and sneaky trips to Starpugs (just don’t let his coach in on that!). If you’re after a date who’s as comfortable in a deep conversation as he is shooting hoops, Rio might be the perfect match to sweep you off your feet.
Another DAM pledge for purchase is Youri Larsen, a 21-year-old powerhouse with a passion for combat sports and a drive that defies his affluent Chicago upbringing. Studying Medicine and Sport, Youri has channeled his energy into the ring, mastering the art of boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. Despite growing up far from the typical struggles of many fighters, Youri has carved out a name for himself in the world of MMA, where his talent and determination have earned him a reputation as a formidable young competitor. If you’re looking for a date who’s as intense as he is intriguing, Youri is ready to bring his fierce energy and focus to the auction—and maybe to your next adventure.
Also on the auction block is Tocho Winchester, a 22-year-old powerhouse with a razor-sharp mind and a wicked sense of humor. Hailing from the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, this former minor league shortstop has traded his bat for books, now majoring in Business and Sports Law. When he’s not busy conquering the classroom, you might find him shaking up cocktails at the Iron Horse Saloon, where his bartending skills are as smooth as his wordplay. Don’t let his brawny build fool you—Tocho’s got brains to match the brawn, and he’s ready to charm his way into your evening. So, if you’re looking for a date with a blend of wit, wisdom, and a little bit of muscle, Tocho might just be the perfect pick.
Last but certainly not least is JT Young, a 22-year-old Texan with a heart as big as his home state. A Computer Science major from Niceville, JT is as sweet as the baked goods he’s known for selling, but don’t let that fool you—there’s much more beneath the surface. Whether he’s enjoying campfire chats on the beach, playing baseball and tennis, or just lending a hand where it’s needed, JT has a knack for bringing warmth and laughter wherever he goes. Not your average cupcake pledge, JT’s got substance to match his sweetness, making him a real treat for anyone lucky enough to win his company. If you’re looking for someone who can make you smile and leave a lasting impression, JT might just be the perfect pick to sweeten your day.
