Alex Lalli

Alex Lalli is a junior in the College who loves a good yap. And miraculously, some of that yapping just happens to make it into print. When she’s not in the office, you can find her rehearsing with Superfood (the best a cappella group on campus), making her fifth playlist of the week, or running around DC.

In perfect harmony: Reflecting on my time with Superfood

While Georgetown’s club culture often gets flak for being overly competitive, I do believe there is merit to surrounding yourself with people whom you admire, who challenge you and who you feel comfortable challenging yourself around.
