First and foremost, I am not a member of an organization. I would just like to piggyback off of everyone else's comments and say that you should reevaluate your reasons for wanting to join. Then too, I always think about it like this. If there is a fault within the particular chapter, just tell yourself that you will work to improve that if you are offered membership. Rather than saying "Oh, I don't want to be in XYZ sorority because they did such and such to me" you should be saying "If (When) I become a member of XYZ, I will make sure I don't treat interests the way they are treating me now." Do you see what I am saying?
Also, think about it. You are joining a national or international organization, not just that chapter. Also consider the fact that you will not be exposed to that particular chapter for any longer than 4 years. After graduation hopefully you will join an Alumni chapter. So, I guess you have to weigh your options.
