Varies from campus to campus.

What you described...greek. But considering you're not a member of a "social" sorority, I can definitely understand where the person was coming from. At my alma mater, there was an extremely large divide between what the professional organizations did and what the social organizations did (and there were a lot of social organization members who were making up the membership of the professional organizations). No one would have ever confused the two.

However, I fully recognize that other campuses are different and it's not your fault that your organization at other campuses isn't as active. Your chapter provided everything that a social group at my school provided, so you didn't need a social group...probably didn't even make the distinction between the two.

There's no "right" answer here. Was the person wrong to criticize your greek experience? yes, but only because your experience was just as fulfilling as theirs was. But you also have to realize what their experiences with your organization might have been.
