Tribes

When I think about the type of tribes there are in Atchison, first I think of BC. It is its own tribe in itself. The only major attempt from BC to reach out to the community is sponsorships the school has with businesses. The students for the most part don't venture out in to the town unless they live off campus. The clubs and sports teams on campus are also tribes. As a baseball player, the baseball team is a big tribe because we all spend a lot of time on and off the field together and a player's main group of friends is other teammates from the team. Other tribes around town are area businesses, Elks, Knights of Columbus, the poker group, Atchison Area Yacht Club even, and other common interest groups in town. Somehow, all these groups need to come together to form a better community.

Benedictine is definately a tribe! BUT it is not as well. There are parts of BC that function as a tribe more than the entire community functioning as a tribe.
