Membership regulations
 
The worth and quality of a group is equivalent to the worth and quality of each one of its single members. The perception and consideration of the outside world of the worth and quality of a group is established and measured not from the worth, quality and conduct of the single member with the highest standards, but from the worth, quality and conduct of the single member with lesser degree of values.
