While many general (or social) greek letter orgs do service, its not their primary purpose, thus they really can't call themselves service GLOs.


And yes, there are many members of APO, GSS, and OPA, some of whom are members of other GLOs.

Prehaps your chapter can see if there are chapters of the above groups on campus and work with them, instead of competing.

This is true but I just want to point out that service IS a primary purpose for the NPHC orgs in addition to Scholarship and Sister/Brotherhood. I believe that all the NPHC orgs are officially classified as both social and service. And since some of the service organizations have chapters that participate in step shows and other "social" activities/traditions common the NPHC, they can be viewed as social also.
