Yes, I do consider non-social Greeks to be a part of the Greek life community. I know that they sometimes feel as though they are excluded, but I guess it's more a question of how the organization itself wishes to be viewed. I've sat on the committee for Greek Week and, although we invited them, no non-social Greek organizations took part in Greek Week. Also, when I was philanthropy chair, I extended invitations to the non-social Greek organizations on our campus (ALL of them) to take part in our events that are open only to Greeks, but only Alpha Phi Omega responded.

I think it really all depends on the different schools and their over-all attitudes toward Greek life as to who is or is not considered to be part of the Greek community.
