"Originally I wasn't even going to take a course in religion, but I took one my first semester and it ended up being my favorite course." Seth appreciates being able to approach the world from two very different perspectives: "So often, people think of religion and science in terms of controversy—each trying to prove the other wrong. I like to be able to look at things from both sides."
For Seth, religion isn't only an academic pursuit: He's the chaplain of his fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. But Seth's interests are more than just spiritual; he's a Special Olympics volunteer and is captain of the rugby team. In the latter role, he describes himself as "fiercely competitive: I hate to lose."
"Some people might have the tendency to stereotype me as an athlete and frat guy," says Seth, "and it's fun to defy those stereotypes."
