I have actually never heard of a scenario where it created real, long-term change until your post, haha.

I agree. We had a chapter on my campus years that had brought in members from their stronger chapters at FSU and UF to help them recruit. Even if a PNM ended up liking this chapter, they didn't want to join knowing that many of the members who were there would ultimately go home to their chapters in Tallahassee or Gainesville the next day. Plus, the tent talk was unrelenting and dug this chapter deeper into a hole that they never got themselves out of. The chapter did reorganize, but they still were unable to overcome their past stigma and eventually folded.
