I can answer that question. Yes, you are allowed to be a member of both. Let me explain. I'm a member of Sigma Alpha Iota Professional Music Fraternity for Women. Now, because of the 'rules' I can NOT join another music glo. BUT, if say my major changed to business, I could then join a professional business glo, if I wanted to. Now, the thing with socials and professionals, I can join one or the other, or both, but I can't join 2 socials. Once you are a member of a social glo, you are no longer eligable to join another social glo, but you can be a member of a professional. So I was able to then join Delta Zeta Social Sorority.
On my campus, there was a lot of animosity among socials and professionals too. The social organizations thought that professionals weren't 'real' greeks, and the professionals thought that the socials were all 'stuck up' but, I tried to dispell both of those myths when I became a member of both.
