Well, patience is subjective; when I was there, folk were very patient with me and -in fact- were more than anxious to share their experiences and "in-jokes" so I could understand and be a part of it. If you find, when visiting a group, that there isn't a lot of openness, you've found the wrong place.
If I were you, I'd send their coordinator an email and ask these very questions. Local chapters always seem to have a Web site that you can Google or a contact number through the local University. Just look around, find the main number, and ask them if there is any information you could have about newbies joining in.
Or, do as I did: just show up at their next open-to-the-public gathering and take a look around...
Does that help?
Yours,
Sylvan
