why does it matter what other people decide to do?
i was a member of 4 honorary societies in college, and joined them solely for their placement on my resume. honestly if i ever busted out in a letter shirt from kappa delta pi, i think the whole campus would have laughed at me.
i could care less about those societies and would never put those letter on my car.
it also depends on people's campuses. on mine, non NPC/NPHC sororities and fraternities were NOT seen as sororities and fraternities. APO, etc were not seen as social glo's and people in the NPC didn't take them seriously as a fraternity. most who were members of APO and a social GLO only wore letters from their social org. and hey, don't slam me--i'm just being honest of how they were seen on MY campus, not any others!
i think SAI, etc are very worthwhile organizations. i think members should be PROUD to belong. but on SOME campuses, they would not be looked upon as social glo's and wouldn't wear letters. on other campuses, they might be the largest glo! so, to each his/her own!

to the post starter--don't be scared of what others think. it's just the internet. start as much controversy as you want in your OWN name--it will probably be taken more seriously anyway.
