Perhaps "selective" would be a more neutral word?
I think you make a very good point. Along with the criteria of "fitting in," I would add the criteria of mutual benefit (maybe there's a better way to say that): does this prospective member have skills/traits/etc. to offer that will benefit the group as a whole, and does the group have something to offer that will benefit the prospective new member.
