It's usually not because they've researched the group or felt a connection to the philanthropy.

I hadn't thought about it this way, but it's an interesting idea; you may be on to something.
And maybe that's why as best I can tell the visual identity thing does seem to be "working" for us -- since we're what might be called a "special interest" social fraternity, we're looking to attract guys who share that interest and who make a connection with us because of it. At the same time, we know that lots of guys looking for a social fraternity are not going to consider us along with the others (nor would we consider them) because they don't feel a connection to that special interest.
