The other secret code is that it may not be any fun to be the campus whipping boy (girl?). Yes, every PNM should be encouraged to give it a shot at pref. But I am not going to hold it against any teenager who decides that she doesn't want to spend money to be labeled as struggling/smallest/fatty/ugly/lamest right off the bat in college. Both shallow snots and wonderful human beings may come to that conclusion. The reason for the secret code is that if a PNM actually admitted that on GC, she'd be run out of town on a virtual rail.
I agree with what you are saying generally.

It's just hard to repeatedly hear or read the same stuff without simply wanting people to be more aware. If all the groups but one drop you, perhaps it makes the most sense to look at the one you have left rather than trying to figure out how you can game the system the second time through, especially seeing as you really can't do anything about how the groups do membership selection.
