Pledging
411, you hit the nail on the head. And so did e'rbody else. That's what I meant when I said "new wave ...". Most college students today are spoiled and want immediate gratification. They want it now; and they want it easy. Hell many of 'em wont even investigate the organizations to make sure they're trying to get into the one best for them. They just want to be down. And community service? They aint tryin' to hear that-let alone do it.
I think all of the orgs will pay a heavy price for the new way they're admitting new members. Alot of the college students(and some graduate people too) today WANT to be pledged; and will creep somewhere to get it done. Because of this, some of us that did it "back den" need to go back and give 'em a way to do it, with purpose and direction. Otherwise I think the orgs will begin to die.
