And I'm cross-quoting you two again, this time in reverse. The assurance that they have access to connections and wealth was in response to the standards laid out below. Their fraternities, chapters and the school they attended are also WAY steeped in tradition.
So, looks like they check off all the boxes, would they be cool with you, then?

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
