Well said SAI Rose.
I can think of a particular chapter in the United States of Phi Mu Alpha that consists of no music majors or minors. MysticCat81, can you think of the location of this chapter? I believe it's on the East Coast.
The chapters of Phi Mu Alpha throughout the United States that are members of their local school's IFC usually don't have any issues with other Greeks and vice versa. They actually better improve their rush numbers and actively participate in events like Greek Week.

SAI and Phi Mu Alpha are both social fraternities. We have rush; pledging; ritual; big/lil sisters(or brothers, in PMA's case); Philanthropies; social events; mixers; how does this make us a "pseudo greek org"? I rather resent that.
Serving a different purpose? Well, yes, that's a given. I consider us to be like Alpha Gamma Rho, the agri fraternity. We're a social fraternity centered around a common interest (music), but members do NOT have to major in it. Like I said, obviously we are going to serve a different crowd than an NPC group, but it doesn't make us any less Greek.
