When I see professional or service organizations (which I have belonged to or currently belong to several of these things) I can clearly distinguish between them and a fraternity such as Sigma Nu.

Sigma Nu calls upon its members to be first and foremost loyal to the brotherhood of Sigma Nu. Brothers are called upon to put their fraternity above ALL other associations and make it a life committment.

I may be going out on a limb here and it may be different for someone at another school but from what I've seen APO, CKI, SAI, etc do not ask this of their members.

If a woman is a Delta Zeta and an SAI she will be first and foremost a Delta Zeta and THEN she belongs to SAI.

Personally I don't think being "greek" is a very exclusive term. If you think you are greek than you are right.

To be "greek" is only defined when your organization is known.

I personally think that anyone that makes the lifelong committment to a 'general' fraternity such as Sigma Nu then they are going against their organization (and in my opinion are traitors) if they make that same pledge to ANY other organization.

Hopefully that doesn't offend anyone but that's the way I see it.
