My two cents is that “brand consistency” is interesting, because brands reflect, roughly, the strain of vegan club that it is, whether associated with particular activist networks, whether it’s more vegetarian than vegan or something else. The level of inconsistency is also indicative of a lack of coordination across groups.
My experience in university was that the local club was a bit of an awkward merge between a social club and people with a particular activist agenda (very visible demonstrations against animal labs). In a sense, the career building approach of Alt Protein Projects or the cause agnosticism of EA groups may be better at attracting members. But I’m not sure.
