When I first came to Penn, I knew I wanted to join a cultural group so I originally attended a ton of GBMs. PTS was the one that stood out and stuck because of the incredibly warm and fun environment; I am by no means any bit Taiwanese, but PTS didn’t let that get in the way of making me family. PTS has, hands down, the BEST food-filled events and also people who are amazing and constantly reach out to hang out or just talk to you about anything. My most memorable events include the Bubble Tea Social, Night Market, and meeting not only good friends, but lifelong mentors and peers who are extremely passionate about their Asian-American background. I can always count on PTS members to greet me anywhere and welcome me with open arms at all times!

I joined PTS in my sophomore year after getting to know some of the board members who have gone on to become some of my best friends and biggest inspirations. Up until that point, I was never just a member of a group and always had to hold a board position so PTS was the first group where I allowed myself to just relax, enjoy and get to know the people around me. Even though I’m not ethnically Taiwanese (JK 23andMe says I am XD), that never felt like a barrier to me feeling like I belonged. I’ll never forget turning up to Rodin M10 for drama nights, eating delicious food and snacks at night market and, of course, being a part of the cultural show.The last three years with PTS were a big part of what made my college experience so enjoyable and for that, I have nothing but love for the PTS fam and can only hope they continue to be the loving, welcoming and thoughtful group that they are!
