Because they were created with very different intentions. Most of the professional fraternities center around one major. At most campuses..camp uh...campi, they exist to bring people together who are interested in for say, real estate, or business, or psychology, etc. They count and are good for resume as leadership expeirnce but in social glos, you are there because you want to be, you say to other people, by being in a Fraternity, that these men here with me are my Brothers and I love them, and we have all sworn on what we hold most sacred to keep the vows of true friendship, upon which Brotherhood is based. A Fraternity is a group of friends, who are so close to each other that it feels like family. That is what being means. Just because you have a cool t shirt and a secret handshake and maybe called brother, doesn't mean its the same thing. I have brothers who were in other pseudo greek orgs. No one can be more than one type of Greek. You can't be from two city-states at the ancient olympics, so when it comes down to it, which are you're letters, its always the one that represtes the people that you choose to be friends with.
