This seems to be the biggest constant across teams - each one is different. In our first year (2012, Rebound Rumble), it seemed like we were the only team at Bayou that was anywhere close to 50/50. We had to have an extended talk on "watching out for your sisters" with the males on our team. Three years later, it seems like most teams are sending a 1:2 or better ratio of girls - we have the same talk, but it isn't quite as immediate. I did notice (as we were alliance partners at Bayou this year) that Wildcat was mostly male. Is there a culture there that tends to exclude/shun/shy girls away from the team? For the record, I grew up closer to Destrehan than to Slidell (in Avondale, just over the Jefferson Parish line, but on the West Bank). If there's some way that we (meaning 3946 or all of CD) can enable broader inspiration, please let us know!
