I just read that link, and I have to tell you, there certainly are some snobs in the DAR - just like there are snobs in various sororities, clubs, cotillions, and every other walk of life.
A year & a half ago, I had the opportunity to go to DC for the DAR genealogical lineage class. There were three of us under 50; from there, the average age in the class was probably 70.
After 3 days of intense study (trust me, I mean intense!), a few of us went out to dinner. The younger woman who was incredibly sweet and lovable turned out to be the descendent of Augustine Washington - George Washington's brother! She never once bragged or lorded it over anyone, and her wonderful attitude will impress me as long as I live!
