Munchin!!!We cannot attract the people who could be our biggest help--the intelligent leaders who have a low tolerance for bullshit and hypocrisy--because they see through the dandy act and would rather live in a big house with all of their friends of the same and opposite sex, having wine with dinner.
I must say, I think your perception of the declining numbers is so, SO correct.
Before everyone jumps to the conclusion that I think this is GOOD, that's not what I want to deliver. I merely think that what Munchin has sited is very real and definitely part of the problem.
Not every "great" PNM fits this description by any means, but I would guess many do. "The middle of the road is wider than you think." Me
LOL! It's the total opposite of those who choose NOT to join because they think everything evolves around drinking and sex. Both factions exist within the PNMs on any campus IMO.
I honestly don't know what the solution is-college seems a little late IMO, we may be looking at societal changes that are a negative influence on organizations that are strictly monitored.
