I was active in in both Tau Beta Sigma (band/music) and Phi Mu while in college. I was in Tau Beta Sigma first and I have to say that when I was only in TBS I didn't consider myself "greek." The group was social and very active around campus and the community but the sisters didn't consider themselves "greek peers" either. Not to be crass, but on our campus (FSU) unless you were a social greek then you weren't considered greek. In fact, and I am sorry to admit this, the non-social GLOs were actually looked down upon b/c they were often seen as trying to "act greek". At times it was very hard to be active in both organizations as well as other extracurriculars b/c the 2 GLOs didn't understand the need for membership in the other. I wouldn't change my experience at all though b/c I learned so much and have tight, irreplacable friendships in both groups.
