Hey girls and guys! Well, I'm in a service organization Tau Beta Sigma. And while yes, we are not social we are totally into sisterhood. We kind of sometimes spilt the lines between social/service in most of our opinions.
As for social GLO's requiring more commitment than other glos. It depends what you're talking about. In my chapter of Tau Beta Sigma we have 10 service projects per person we must complete, 4 fundraiser projects per person, and it is advised to come to a few social functions We have one meeting a week, plus 7 commitee meetings that all 27 girls have to attend too.
Things we do : taking care of 200 marching uniforms for our marching band, sell cokes to music majors two times a week, provide car washes and candle sales to promote high school music, band receptions for jazz,wind ensemble,concert band, and the orchestra, take care of our practice field, etc.
Things we do for fun: hold band banquets, provide mixers for incoming freshmen, parties, sisterhood journals, sisterhood retreats, progressive dinner, end of the year and beginning of the year picnics, etc.
So we have a lot on our plate. And this year we are hoping to work with the YWCA women's abuse shelter to help build and paint an extra room in the shelter. We are really excited about this.
As for the original question, I was going to pledge a social sorority until I realized where my heart was. I could never leave my girls for anything!!! They are my sisters and keep me going! I do agree that if you don't have such a tight sisterhood in your service or prof. sorority you can do a social sorority. But I was just lucky to already get such an awesome sisterhood, why would I want something else?
