In my experience with chartering efforts, beyond being told the rules they must follow, there is little help/assistance received from the school officials. If the social GLOs get this, its something the non-socials and non-GLOs don't get.
As our chapters are chartered to the schools, it is expected that they must follow any policies of that school. If they have policies stricter then our National Org, they take precedence. That's always been a given in our Fraternity.

I'm sure it varies from school to school, but in my experience, social GLOs are more closely kept tabs on, and with that does come greater assistance (asked for or otherwise).
I went to a school with so many more student orgs compared to the number of social GLOs (400 or so vs. under 50); governance for the two groups was therefore very unequal. Personally, I preferred the less-campus-oversight model - it worked just fine.
