Here we go again - Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia never really was a Professional Organization even though many brothers feel it was. The fact of the matter is that there was a period in which the fraternity went through an identity crisis and even affiliated with the National Professional Organizational Group (I don't remember their name). The group's foundations under our Founding Father were Social.
As far as your specific scenario at your school, it may be as easy as bringing it up to the right people. PM if you have any thoughts on this and I will contact my resources at Lyrecrest to help steer you in the right direction if you're interested.
Fraternally,

I wonder if this is a requirement left over from when we were a professional fraternity? That would be my guess. I think this should be brought up at the next national convention. It's too late for 2009 but it could be put on the legislative docket for 2012.
