I am a member of both Sigma Alpha Iota and Alpha Xi Delta, and frankly I don't consider SAI to be, officially, a greek organization. I know we have all the rituals and stuff, which is cool, but I know if I had to choose between the two, I would choose Alpha Xi. And if I wasn't in SAI, I wouldn't consider it Greek. A lot of that's because we don't participate in Greek Week, we don't do recruitment at the same time or follow the same rules (frankly, we do things in my chapter--not hazing--that we could never get away with in a social GLO because of PC rules). A lot of people at my campus consider SAI and Phi Mu Alpha members as "wanna-be Greeks" or the organizations people join if they want to be like the Greeks but still maintain a squeaky clean image.
And I know SAI isn't just for music majors. We've only had one in the time I've been there (2.5 years)! But it is limited to people who are musical.
