Not saying this is true in Texas but, where I'm from you are putting what is best for the fraternity in the hands of 3 on the investigating committee, which I know from observation is very haphazard at best. One way or the other it is putting trust in someone.

Don't let the fear of memorization deter you from joining. I thought I would have a terrible time with it but was genuinely surprised to find out that I was quite good at it. A compatible instructor is a blessing. Go for it.
