Twins Melissa and Tanya Pavri have infiltrated almost every extracurricular Penn has to offer. After four years of campus-wide recognition, they finally have their say in Street.
Street: Between the two of you, how many groups are you involved in? Which one dominates them all? Melissa & Tanya Pavri: 237. Just added one each last night. Definitely Excelatma.
Street: What famous duo best exemplifies your relationship? MP & TP: Tia and Tamera. I got my own mind. I do my own style in my own time.
Street: If you had to write a joint autobiography what would you title it? MP & TP: This Is Not a 2-for-1 Special.
Street: Melissa, what's the most underrated thing about Tanya? Tanya, the most overrated thing about Melissa? MP: Underrated: her lexicon. TP: Overrated: her poems, utterly trite.
Street: What don’t most people know about you? MP & TP: We used to get into a lot of physical fights. We have the battle scars to prove it.
Street: Best part about being in Atma? MP & TP: The girls are unfailingly supportive, sweet, passionate and truly incredible musicians. They inspire us to be better artists and people.
Street: Melissa, what’s the best part about being in the Excelano Project? MP: Hell week, hands down. Spending endless hours together doing what we love.
Street: There are two types of people at Penn... MP & TP: Those who attend performing arts shows and those who don’t. There is a ridiculous amount of raw talent at this school. Don’t miss out, people.
Street: Any guilty pleasures? MP & TP: Funkmaka. They have all the swag. A little sweat ain’t never hurt nobody.
Street: You’ve just arrived at your 10-year college reunion. What would people be most surprised to hear about you? MP & TP: We still don’t have green cards.
