No, most random people walking down the street won't know that Britney's a Kappa or Rachel's a Phi Mu, but if someone hears about several public personalities/figures who are in that org, they'll start forming an opinion. The same way you would if you meet several people from one country or type of interest. There are always outliers and the most public ones don't always represent the whole, but that's the way things work.

It's not an NPC thing. It's a busybody thing. Worry about being an active member for life rather than what somebody else THINKS about an organization, or even that somebody was slick enough at the mouth to mention it.
It goes without saying that we're agreeing to disagree. The next choice is to agree to respond or don't.
