I know on my campus we make distinctions between the social GLOs--ADPi, ZTA, Phi Mu Delta, KD, Sigma Kappa, Sig Ep, Theta Chi, Phi Sigma Kappa--professional GLOs--SAI and PMA Sinfonia--and the honor societies. The honor societies are something nice to put on your resume. The social and professional GLOs are a real commitment, and it is rare to hear someone say to an SAI or PMA that they aren't in a "real" fraternity or sorority.
So I think how one views one's professional/honor fraternity versus a social depends very much indeed on the campus attitudes. I know that for a while, it was acceptable to be in a social sorority and SAI, Zetas seemed to double up nicely, but now that's a trend that is fading quickly as SAI is seen as a committment all her own.
