When I encounter that chapter that puts a priority on looks above all other membership criteria, then I will agree that is sad and completely counter to the ideals of our organizations. So I suppose I can only imagine a campus culture like the one you mention, since I've yet to experience it.

I agree with you. I have experience with more than one college campus so I can relate to both perspectives.
