No problem. I'm pretty sure the only place you will find this is in our bylaws, which aren't exactly google-able.
A woman of another social sorority may not join A.O.E. nor may a member of A.O.E. join another social sorority.
However, if a woman terminates membership in either A.O.E. or the other social sorority, she may join the other. She cannot reinstate membership in A.O.E. if she does this though.
Professional/service memberships are OK (i.e. Tri-Beta, Eta Kappa, Alpha Phi Omega).
Gamma Sigma Sigma, Sigma Alpha, SAI, and the like are also not permitted to join, because they (according to our bylaws) fall under the social umbrella.
The main factor of distinction is whether or not the group is co-ed. This is why APO is OK, but GSS is not.
(This question actually came up at a colonization meeting because there was a young woman there who is interested in joining a new colony. However, she raised her hand and asked if other social sororities would prevent her from joining. I was an idiot and asked her if I could ask what sorority she was joining. She blushed and was like "Well, I'm trying to join and I can't really..." at which point I blushed, because I was accidentally rude.)
