I have to co-sign on this! I joined Delta Sigma Pi a year before I transferred schools, and joined Alpha Delta Pi after I transferred. I could not imagine pledging both at the same time!
New Member periods can be pretty busy and to have 2 to deal with would be nuts!
I would highly recommend doing both if you are genuinely interested in both. You can recieve many benefits from both, and by joining another type, it is generally an area you are interested in, and so you make many more valuable networking opportunities for the future.
I would guess that dues for service/professional/non-social -type GLOs are considerably lower than those of NPC chapters. (Although that would greatly depend on what the normal dues are for the NPC chapters on your campus... I think on smaller campuses dues tend to be way lower than on bigger ones). My dues for Delta Sigma Pi were only $60 for an entire semester at my old chapter, and I believe they are $80 at this chapter up here. ... So you wouldn't have to take 5 jobs or anything to pay dues for both if you choose to do so.
If you have any questions about anything, feel free to pm me
