Let The Pseudo-Houghtoning Begin!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, its that time of year again - when Houghton is most frequently portrayed as a christian liberal arts school and least frequently exemplifies it.

Yep, its that last chance that the admissions office has to convince prospectives not to take the blue pill and not attend Houghton before the red pill is shoved down their throats. Similar to being released from the matrix, the real thing is not nearly as pleasant as the fake.

No, the meals are never as enticing, the movies and concerts only happen when other prospective students are on campus and people aren't nearly as accommodating as they are when you firmly clasp that all revealing blue folder in your arms.

No, that presidential signature on your letter from Houghton isn't actually from the president, the chapels aren't always that entertaining and you can certainly bet that the picture in the Houghton brochure that contains several multi-cultural students happily enjoying each others company isn't real. In fact, Houghton is almost as far from that truth as possible, being about 98.5% non-black.

Yes, come to houghton - we have all these things that you'll never see again. As long as we have your money, that's all that matters. Why do we do it? If you ask, you'll get the three year old "because everybody else does it," the answer that has had parents rolling their eyes for decades. Likewise, I'm sure God does the same with us - assuming of course that he's not pulling the Matrix over our eyes with this world we're in.
