I do see a few PMA and OPA letter shirts aroung. Our OPA is generally used as a stepping stone to get into NPHC sororities (service hours and involvement on campus). I didn't even realize it was co-ed until Greek Chat. Once they join the NPHC sorority, I never see OPA letters again.
5. Many professional societies do little more than hold initiation once a year. It is hard to find much meaning in an open ritual read out of a folder. (thaks Nut BrnHair) And especially when the invitation to join comes in a mass mailing from a university office.

The two statements you made aren't always true...it would depend on the campus. At my alma mater, you saw just as many shirts for professional glos as you did for social glos. All the professional glos have houses, so they do many social events as well.
