We attended different schools and the undergrad chapter at my school didn't know me personally, so how are they supposed to take hearing things like that about me? How would that effect my candidacy for membership? Now, this upcoming semester, we will be attending the same school and the most of the undergrad chapter does know me personally. In spite of that, I still might run into some of the same problems.

People are going to make assumptions about you regardless and more so if you do become what you seek. The way you let the men in the chapter know what the real deal is you get to know them. They'll also be able to address the concerns you have much better than any of us here can.

That's why you see Kappa Leaguers/Rhoers Club/Sigma Betas with canes and Omega Gents with gold boots, it's just some stuff that aint right.

Really, the members should have clearly explained what it is and what it is not because it's their program. And they should be correcting those who aren't clear. Explaining Delta G.E.M.S., Kappa League, Rhoers, et. al. as "Jr. Greek" organization not only gives the wrong impression, it's not accurate.
And the folks allowing them to have calls, line names and numbers need to be checked too.
