Owen first messaged Alea on Tinder, but it didn’t take long to realize their worlds already overlapped in the best way. They were both part of Greek life at Wright State University, Alea in Kappa Delta and Owen in Sigma Phi Epsilon, and they also discovered they were connected through their best friends, who are each other’s littles. Their first time meeting in person was at Bella and Adam’s apartment, and from there they all went out to a party together. Alea was really nervous to finally see Owen in person after messaging him, but that feeling faded as the night went on and they started talking more and getting comfortable with each other. From that night on, they kept getting closer every day and what started as a random Tinder message slowly turned into something real and consistent.
