James, in my experience with my chapter only, I would say yes and no. There were many women I called, "the 8 carat ring club" who were above everyone and spoke in weird voices, etc. However, the majority of my experience was the exact oposite. Women who were educated, many who worked on the Hill, credentials out the arse, attractive/well put together, not poor but not above at all standing behind a counter at a soup kitchen dishing out pasta salad. We all wore jeans and became friendly with women/children/people who happened to have different life experiences than us and it was great.
I think the JL in general has that reputation, as do sororities, but I never focused on the people, I focused on the committee/volunteer opportunity first and then became friends which the people on that same committee. I know I wouldn't have lasted ten secnds on those committees that appeal mostly to the "8 carat ring club."
