Needless to say, I can't understand why anybody would want to join the Sphinx Club. They don't seem to do much. They cheer at football games. Face it, kids, the Sphinx Club is a psychology experiment. One day, all the popular guys got together and decided to make a club with the dumbest outfits, rituals, and traditions imaginable, just to see if people would play along, and they did.
Social inertia is a powerful thing.
This year's lemmings are about thirty yards away from the cliff and show no signs of slowing. Perhaps I'm too hard on the Sphinx Club. After all, most of them are pretty nice guys. But maybe the fact that it has stood the test of time means that the Sphinx Club does have something to offer. No organization or campus activity is right for everybody, so perhaps it's an organization that's not right for me, but might be a good ole time for people who like wearing the candystriped Osh Kosh.
