MALES:

Gavin Rogers is being auctioned off with a one of a kind date: a ticket to the Duke vs. Maryland home game! All proceeds go to charity, so bid big!

Christoff Krige is a South African babe, who loves riding mechanical bulls. martini bars. beer pong. and speaking bad spanish. He is a master's student in the economic department.

networks and their application to African elephants. For the past 4+ years he's been
active in GPSC serving as a rep, planning basketball Campout, and working on student health insurance. Before coming to Duke he traveled around the world 3 times through 67 countries and has been to over half of all the most interesting places on Earth.

working a few years in Business Strategy, he hopes to start his own company.
Chris is a southern-bred gentlemen that knows how to treat a woman. He loves
music, intellectual challenges, and good company. Ladies, he's very willing
to let the top-2 bidders take him out...at the same time.

Carl Schreep is an M.A. student in religion, concentrating in 2nd temple Judaism.

Shawn Selleck is a first year masters candidate studying International Development Policy. He says that talking about how passionate he is about helping people get out of poverty is a great way to attract women . . .until they realize that means living in a grass hut with no plumbing or electricity. We heard that he has a boatload of frequent flyer miles left over from his former job as a management consultant though, so we say date him, at least until those run out. Shawn is also a member of Sabrosura, Duke's Latin Dance Troupe. So even if you lose the bidding on him tonight, tomorrow night he'll teach you salsa for free at the Salsa to Save event at Duke Gardens: http://duke.facebook.com/event.php?eid=9945743242

Ike Miller, 23, is from Apex, North Carolina. He went to Campbell University for Undergrad and is now studying in the Divinity School. Post Grad plans are uncertain but hopefully some form of doctoral work. Aside from school, he is easy going, and works for the women's basketball team, enjoys exercising and working out, reading, and watching movies.

Ruchir Shah spent more than five years in a state funded facility down the road (aka UNC) and ended up with a PhD before his release. Since then, he has pretended to be working for a renowned healthcare consulting company while he spends most of his time planning events and throwing parties. In the past, he has spun-off a biotech company from university, hiked across the Himalayas and over-slept many times to miss meetings - including his own seminar. He loves to cook, travel and socialize; and he invites all of you join "SPOT-NC", a social networking group that he recently started which bridges the graduate student communities and young professionals in the triangle area. Bid on him and find out ‘what can brown do for you’!?! SPOT-NC: http://www.spotnc.net
