Exactly. The president of Hillel will more than likely mention her leadership skills/position when she's a PNM, but the topic of her religion isn't dwelled upon by a chapter as a membership deal maker/breaker.

And I certainly hope atheists don't start begging the question of exclusion by NPC groups, since inclusive clauses specifically welcoming atheists aren't normally in sorority constitutions/bylaws. A more general inclusion clause, without specifically naming atheists or any other marginalized group, is more common.
