Jake and Grace van Arkel
Otherwise known as JVA and GVA. Grace transferred from Columbia her sophomore year to join her brother Jake at Penn. Motives behind the transfer are unclear, except they are also very clear because Columbia sucks. These two can be spotted strolling down Locust in matching Barbours and Bean Boots, or sipping freshly brewed coffee at one of United By Blue's overly–crowded tables. Grace admits, “People think it’s weird how close we are but honestly my favorite part of Penn is going to school with Jake.” Just check out either of their Instagram accounts for further evidence on their sibling dynamism (and solid gene pool).
Ahmed, Khalil and Malik Jones
These three are simply known as “the triplets” around campus. Mostly because everyone mixes up their names 90% of the time, but also because everything looks the same down to the last abdominal muscle. Khalil discloses that “a lot of the time people I don't know will wave to me or say 'hi' on Locust because they think I'm one of my brothers. I usually just smile and wave, but sometimes I go all in and try to hold a conversation if they start talking to me. If you know one of us, chances are this has happened to you, but you'll never know.” (Ed. note: rumor has it one of the brothers has a freckle on their face that the others don’t have, so no more excuses.) These three celeb siblings are also extremely fit, which provides a lot of opportunities for them to take their shirts off (not that we're complaining).

Rosie and Alex Warren
It doesn’t hurt to have a twin brother in Beta, that’s for sure. Except for the fact that 50 guys immediately become off–limits. These two look absolutely nothing alike, which leaves a lot of room for dating ambiguity. For example, the two were once at Nordstrom's and a sales associate recommended that Alex buy his sister some jewelry for Valentine's Day, oblivious to the fact that they were just a couple of gorgeous siblings, not an actual couple. However, I can’t imagine Rosie declined the jewelry suggestion. PSA ladies, Alex has a sister not a girlfriend. Which also means you better watch who’s listening to your conversation about how hot he is: that red–headed bombshell standing next to you is related to him, not just another groupie.
George and Caroline Calle
If you haven’t wished you were a Calle yet, you don’t have your priorities in check. “The Calle Smile” should be a coined term on this campus. If you haven't seen it, get in line. George takes appointments by phone call only. Caroline is a senior in TriDelt and George is a sophomore in St. Anthony's Hall. Basically, a better sibling duo does not exist anywhere in Philadelphia. George takes full credit for this sibling nomination: he clarified that Caroline is certainly “uglier and has less social capital.” But then he flashed that dashing smile of his and re–clarified that he and his sister are actually extremely close, and he isn’t sure if people at Penn other than A’s boys even use the term “social capital.” Valid. Regardless, at the end of the day, it’s nothing but #siblinglove. Keep being blonde, Georg–oline.
