Just to think, over 100 years of history destroyed...
I wonder where it all begins, this lack of character (at loss for a better word). I could offer up my personal views for debate, but what good would that do? I do have questions I ponder because even though these examples are of GLOs, it transcends Greek life on college campuses and seems to be a new reality in way people think and behave. I believe its still the minority, but not sure if its growing or just getting more exposure.
Back to the examples-
It feels like a classic "catch 22" and a quantity VS quality situation.
Has the cost of operating a chapter risen to the point where X number of men/women are needed and therefore the selection process has been diluted to the point where we just tell our PNMs to hand us a check and sign the dotted line and you're in? Exaggerated, but what if you're chapter is in decline?
Is it the inability to deny an impulse?
Have parents failed in instilling the sense of accountability and responsibility in their children?
Is it a result of the drugs parents took in the 60s and 70s that have caused some miswired brains in their offspring?
Is it RITALIN?!?
