At Purdue, Elana was in the Tri Delta sorority and Jared was in the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. We met at Beta's first freshman party in the September of our freshman year. Our first night was spent playing beer pong (winning of course) and we hit it off...BUT with how busy freshman year was, we fell out of touch. A few months later, Jared was in need of a date to his fraternity's barn dance and remembered how much fun he had with Elana, so he took a chance and reached out to her (see the Gallery for proof that Elana said "yes"). We were serious about each other ever since!
