I think it depends on the member. One of our members in fact used to be a Phi Mu...we also had a member who is now a Phi Mu but who is inactive with SAI. I myself had considered joining a social sorority, but couldn't afford it, and didn't have the time for 2 GLOs. But yes, I would say some SAIs would consider joining both, however, most of our members don't. We consider social GLOs "different" in some respects--you don't have an academic base, your dues cost more, you do more activities, etc. However, we consider you all much the same--you have ritual, rush, pledging, big and lil sisters, etc etc. If you go in Zues' Place you'll find our merchandise on the same shelves. So we consider ourselves to be different and also the same.
I know of 2 girls that would have probably been in SAI and Phi Mu. (Emily and Audra) I really liked both of them, and I wish they were still Phi Mu's. I guess in their case they liked their other activities (probably SAI included) more than us. I am wondering, though, who is the Phi Mu that is inactive in SAI? That perked my interest.
I've got to mention, though, that the NPC sororities on our campus, all have over a 3.0 gpa. (between 3.012 and 3.42!!) This is with groups ranging from 30-100 women! We are very academically based, but we aren't related to one field of study.
I have seen your stuff in Zeus's Place, along with the other special interest GLO's. More power to ya. It doesn't bother me at all to see your letters on campus. But now I'll be making a point to find out more about yall!
