Published Oct. 23, 2009
Andrew Sidel is from St. Louis and a political science major with minors in Spanish and psychology. After coming to MU a semester late to take time off to pursue music, Sidel joined Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
"House decs are my favorite part of Homecoming," he said. "My mom and I have a tradition of walking around Greektown together with hot cocoa and watching all the skits. This year will be even better because my dad and sister are coming as well."
Sidel said he was shocked when he found out he was a royalty candidate.
"Once reality hit, I was overwhelmed with honor and gratitude," Sidel said. "Every member of Top 30 was a stunner. I was honestly surprised to be selected out of such a stellar group of students."
Sidel is also involved in Omicron Delta Kappa, a musical group called Let Lions, Tennis Club, Honors College Ambassadors and is a New Greek Education leader.
After college, Sidel said he might go to Spain to teach high school for a year with a Fulbright Scholarship, and if that does not work out, he plans to go to law school for a career in international law or politics.
