It actually doesn't matter what the socials think. It matters what the campus individuals think. The problem is that there is more social members on campus than there are service members. That's why it is always good to have another service GLO on campus. Especially a sister org. Because then you help separate your organization from just the special interest organizations. When other organizations shun you, the campus sees that. And if you have another organization that will be in your corner regardless, you have the potential of drawing greater interest.
I think preception matters only when it is with the students of the campus. And if they think that you only do service and your a special interest group then you are going to get people not dedicated to your cause. Individuals that only have a need for service hours.
MTSUGURL! You are right to want to do things with other organizations. It doesn't neccessarily have to be a service organization, but it will help if it is a GLO. And even more so if it is a fraternity of men. And still even greater if is a fraternity of men from a different campus.
