 Hi @ninjew-

 This is an interesting idea. The groups in the `$groups_template` are
 populated using `groups_get_groups()` which offers several filter options:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.8/src/bp-groups
 /bp-groups-functions.php#L701

 Could you filter the group objects there? Maybe in combination with a
 `bp_is_groups_directory()` scoping check?

 Other notes: `the_post` filter occurs in WP_Query::setup_postdata():
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/4.7/src/wp-includes
 /class-wp-query.php#L3975

 Which seems more like filtering `groups_get_group` to me. @boonebgorges,
 what about instead of using `new BP_Groups_Group( $id )` here:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.8/src/bp-
 groups/classes/class-bp-groups-group.php#L1164
 we called `groups_get_group( $id )`, which would apply the
 `groups_get_group` filter to each group object?
