RE: Ok so if we turn off split categories.. I believe I split it because I want two top levels. Associates and Members.

Well, you’ll have two top level categories regardless if you split them or not. Just from the little I gleaned I do not see a specific need to, at the moment. Really the primary benefit is simply to break them apart when adding/enit an entry. And break them apart when displaying using separate content blocks vs lumping together under the Categories label.

Not knowing your specific goals, going the route of the pseudo selector could be the best way.

Hope this helps!
