Hello there! I’m Malavika, and I am fairly delighted to be co-captaining this cult once again with the inimitable Yanni Santos, for its second year of existence. This will be my fourth year studying Economics, with minors in Statistics and Women and Gender Studies.
Last year, we befriended writing clubs in Australia, Wales, London, and the Philippines, wrote letters aboard a ship carrying a murderer as well as a milkman, and made mad-libs from famous love letters. I have no doubt that this year will be filled with just as much intrigue, excitement, and adventure – not to mention milk and murder.
This is a photo of me talking to a tree. It is an activity in which I am engaged suspiciously often.

Hey beans - I’m Yanni, and I am the other co-captain of this club. Running this beloved cult with the most exceptional Malavika Selvaraj for a second year is truly a dream come true. Currently, I am in my fourth year, double majoring in English and Psychology.
While my dear co-captain has already hinted at some of our amazing adventures (see: paragraph on the left), I would like to add that the ship spawned the existence of multiple Tony-the-Tigers, the mad-libs made everyone crave sandwiches, and the letters - each darling letter - was sent and received with tangible care, love, and joy. Here's to another year of it all!
This is a photo of me reading a book in Malavika's presence. It's one of my favourite things to do.

Hello, I'm Navjot. I am in my third year at the St. George campus doing a specialist in Geophysics, alongside a GIS (mapping) and Physical and Environmental Geography minors. I have been a participant of the initiative since it initially started and have remained a member and now an exec for the club.
I joined the initiative as I wanted to meet other people at UofT, but was unable to due to the coronavirus. Writing letters seemed like an interesting way of getting to know other students. I like sending letters as it allows one to express themselves at their own pace and it provides something tangible for your pen pal to keep.
This photo of me is a cartoon version of an existing photograph. Like Shreya, I do not take many photos of myself and the ones I do take do not turn out good.

Hi there! I'm Simon I'm from Hong Kong and I am going into my 4th year at UofT, majoring in Urban Studies. Things can get kinda dull here at UofT so I decided to join this club (or cult lmao) I'm not 100% good at being a treasurer but I guess I'm borderline competent at this lol Hope to see you (or your letters)
Someone took this for me up in Muskoka when I was literally burnt lmao. Thanks

Hiya! I’m Shreya, the secretary. I’m in my second year at UTSC and doing a specialist in Mental Health Studies. I wrote my first letter to my best friend years ago… and never sent it. I didn’t have any stamps! Since then, I’ve bought a few stamps and written to friends and family… I love the thought and care that goes into writing a letter, and all the excitement and romance of waiting for a letter to arrive.
I joined this club during the pandemic while classes were still online, hoping to make some friends while still at home. Later, I ran for election on a whim and… somehow won! I hope to do my best for you guys!
This photo is of me falling off of a tree! I love climbing trees and have since I was little... I was bet $10 that I couldn't climb this one and it turns out they were right... Shorts and flip-flops are Not ideal climbing gear!
