I am an SAI as well as a Kappa Kappa Gamma and it hasn't always been easy...it might have just been the chapter/university I attended. There were members of all three GLO's in the SAI chapter (very small college, 1100 students, 3 sororities, chapter total of 60), but there were also a lot of people who viewed it as "the sorority you can join without being in a sorority." A lot of girls joined SAI because they held a lot of stereotypes about the Greek system, one even said that she was so excited about SAI because she "had a terrible experience with Rush." She said that b/c she was cut from the sorority of her choice (not mine, we invited her back), and thus held the view that all GLO's were full of snobs.
Those of us in GLO's were sort of looked down on by the rest of the chapter, like we couldn't possibly be loyal to TWO organizations, and those who weren't in sororities were very clique-ish...well, I suppose I could say that about the chapter in general. I don't want to ramble, but I will say it wasn't fun. Now it doesn't matter so much that I'm an alum, but while in college people in SAI had negative thoughts towards those of us affiliated with two organizations.
