Very true. It’s the generation of instant gratification. Everything has to happen RIGHT NOW. Patience is a virtue, but it seems like a lot of younger people no longer have it. Not all PNMs drop because of this, but there have been quite a few stories on here lately about girls who aren’t “clicking” with a chapter, and who consider dropping before they ever even pick up a phone to ask one of their sisters to go out with them. I understand that they’re new members of the sorority, and they’re new to the system, but the active sisters aren’t mommy and daddy, and they shouldn’t have to hold their hands in all social situations.
