Of all the things I've heard, I've never heard that approach. It is odd -- especially considering that KKPsi and TBS call themselves an honor fraternity and an honor sorority, while Phi Mu Alpha is very clear that it is a social fraternity.
In my experience, Sinfonian chapters will say that are not "Greek" if the campus culture is such that they don't want to be seen as "Greek" because of negative stereotypes. Otherwise, they'll say they're Greek, but, as you say, in a different way perhaps.
Then, of course, there are the campuses where Phi Mu Alpha is IFC -- there they won't see a difference beyond what would be seen with Farmhouse, Triangle or Alpha Gamma Rho.
ETA: I won't ask what chapter your Sinfonian friends are from, but if they think Phi Mu Alpha is an honor society, their probationary member program was sorely lacking and their FEO completely failed them.
