If it is common, why do some socials join other organizations (greek and non) and run for EC positions (president in particular )? Knowing that they can't commit. This is what I mean about non-socials not being taken seriously

While I can't speak for others I know that clubs do not take near the same amount of my time as my fraternity. I'm currently only holding one office outside my fraternity (it's kind of a double office though) as senator for the Public Relations Student Society of America.
I can tell you that I will represent the PRSSA to the best of my abilities. However, if I find I no longer have the time for both organizations, it will be PRSSA that gets dropped.
I've without a doubt (and I've belonged to a few organizations) I've seen more GDI's run for an office and then just not show up or do a horrible job than I've seen greeks.
I'd say that behavior is more reflective upon the individual than it is the system as a whole (even if it is repetative). You'll see non-greeks exhibit the same behavior (they resumé pad also).
If your organization doesn't feel the officers take it seriously, vote them out of office. If not then you must believe that there is no one else that can do as good a job as them.
