On a national level, they both appear to be thriving.

I have no problem with that if it defines itself, as Sigma Alpha, Ceres and AOE do, as a professional/social sorority or even a professional/social coed fraternity.
I have a HUGE problem with groups making themselves into something they're not and something their NATIONAL ORGANIZATION does not intend them to be. I've complained on here many times about Alpha Phi Omega chapters that bid selectively, are full members of councils that are for social Greeks, and that make an unwelcoming environment for members of social GLOs who would also like to join.
From the OP's post, this chemistry fraternity is doing the latter.
