Get to Know a Family!

By SOFIA ALEMANIA, BY

Welcome to Get to Know a Family, which will feature a different Psi Family and it’s members each quarter!

This first spotlight will feature Wu-Tanj. Small but mighty, its current members include Emily Liu (BΦ), Emma Davis (BΦ), Sofia Alemania (BY), and Tia Liu (BT).

The name Wu-Tanj comes from a combination of the name of its founder, Christian Tanja (BH), and Wu, the lovable blue plush penguin who joined the family as a result of the efforts of Eric Kveton (BΛ). Since joining the family, Wu has been passed down from generation to generation of Wu-Tanj littles and has been incredibly well loved throughout the years. In addition to their mascot, old and new members of Wu-Tang alike are most recognizable by their iconic navy blue letters.

​Wu-Tanj has many traditions, including everything from sharing and taking pictures of countless meals together, to sitting along the “Wu-Tanj Wall” at every Monday meeting. “One of my favorite traditions is Week Tanj, where everyone in Wu-Tanj attends as many days as possible for this week-long family celebration”, said Tia Liu, Psi Chapter President. According to Liu, “activities throughout the week vary year to year, but can include Sawtelle dinners, tunneling, a trip to DTLA, roofing, movie nights, and more.” In addition to Week Tanj, one of the most recognizable traditions is the patented Wu-Tanj picture that is taken at every degree, in which alumni and older members hold up W’s and newer members hold up J’s.

​Apparent in its strong connections and rich traditions, Wu-Tanj is a family that is built upon genuine appreciation and love for one another.
