For some NIC fraternities (and I suspect some other GLOs), the phrase “any similar organization” may refer to any fraternity (GLO) that may be viewed as “general” or “social” and not just members of the NIC.
Also, these GLOs are viewed as being inter/national (regional) in scope with multiple chapters and with some sort of headquarters or governing body. And they may also be a member of another umbrella (governing) council/conference/association other than the NIC. Or not.
(Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta for example.)
As such, I suspect this may be the reason the caveat “other than honorary or professional origination” is often added (needed).
