I personally can't see myself promising lifetime membership to an organization and don't know what their ideals are. I also can't see joining an organization solely based on the people in the chapter because 1) people change 2) and because when you're interacting with people as a prospective member, chapter members are trying to make a good impression on you and you are not necessarily getting 100% of who those people really are.
I don't know if that is a reference to me, but I am 21 years old and still feel the same way I did when I was 18 about where loyalty should lie.

The ideals of organization are great and mean alot to me, but as I stated earlier, had nothing to do with my decision to join.
