I guess I'm confused as to what we mean by "fellow Greeks."
I'm in an NPC sorority, and consider anyone in an NIC, NPHC, other NPC sorority, a local, or Beta Sigma Phi to be a social Greek "like me." (Even though of course there are differences.) I would consider GSS and APOs service Greeks - certainly Greek, but not "like me." (We had APO on my campus, and at times the majority of APO was in NPC and NIC groups). With the musical groups, the fact that they're varying so much from campus to campus is interesting. It sounds like some chapters are functioning as social Greeks, whereas other places they are more professional or honorary.
The difference is, I don't consider honorary and professionals to be Greeks. Their orgs have Greek names, but affiliation in one is usually not the primary affiliation for the member.
