Name: David Alpert
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Major: Government, Religious Studies
Campus Activities: Class of 2013 President, Sigma Chi, APO.
Favorite place on Campus: The Sunken Gardens- It’s the reason I ended up at W&M. I know it sounds cheesy, but I took one walk through the Sunken Gardens late one night when I was visiting campus and I just knew I belonged here.
What is the first thing you notice about a girl? That’s really tough, because it really does vary for me. But if you had to pin it down, I’d say a girl’s laugh. If I’m going to have any sort of future with a girl, we’re gonna joke around a lot and she’s going to have to think I’m funny, (or at least pretend that I am). And I really love to love a girl’s laugh.
What is the biggest turn off when it comes to girls (or just people in general)? Being too loud. I don’t vibe well with people who need to be the center of attention all the time. I really love a down-to-earth girl.
You were recently seen in a wet suit, jumping into the Crim Dell after a poster of President Reveley. Care to explain? Haha, so I’m running for Student Assembly President. I knew I was going to have to jump into the Crim Dell at some point before I graduated, so I thought why not do it for a good cause and save our fearless leader from harm? Win or lose, I’m really enjoying campaigning, making a fool of myself and getting to meet tons of people. And we still got some more surprises coming over the next couple of days.
What’s been you favorite part of the William and Mary experience, TWAMPY stuff included? That’s actually one of the first things I realized about William and Mary — that we’re all passionate about something, even if it’s the Wizards and Muggles club (which is still kinda awesome). People really and genuinely care about their involvements and I find that really refreshing.
If you could be any superhero, which one would it be, and why? Definitely Batman. I was equally obsessed with the Power Rangers growing up (and for far too long), but Batman just has a certain unique swag to him. Plus, you just can’t beat the Batmobile.
Hottest Disney Princess? Feel free to elaborate. Jasmine… but she’s a cartoon character. I much prefer real women.
How do you ACTUALLY feel about now officially being a HerCampus cutie? Well, let’s just say that I’m thrilled. And kind of pleased. Just a little.
