I truly agree with that sentiment - it reminds me of a workshop I participated in several years ago when I was in a chapter that was planning a spring line - at the chapter retreat in the fall we had a workshop where we had to list the names of "friends or relatives" that we thought would make "good" Deltas. We then had to review that list and keep the names on the list if we would pay their dues if we wrote a recommendation letter for that person and they became non-financial within 5 years of initiation. Needless to say, the lists dwindled down significantly.
