Here's what I think
Professional and Social GLO's are different. Professional fraternities, like Delta Sigma Pi, are governed by the Professional Fraternity Associtation, not IFC. Also, in Delta Sigma Pi's risk management, it says that chapter houses are stongly discouraged for the reason that if the chapter has a house, it will compete with social fraternities. There are so many aspects to greek life for ANY GLO, be it professional or social, that there is no black and white on this issue. Yes, professional GLOs do social activities, we just don't party every weekend at other GLOs places, we have barndances, formals and other social activities. We have community service events at least 3 times a month. Someone commented on APO only do the blood drive. I'm sure they do more, it's just that their name isn't on everything or they aren't always advertising what they are doing by making shirts. I'm sure everyone in social GLOs knows what houses are doing what community service because if you're in the greek system you know what's going on. But on my campus, I could tell you because I'm not in a social GLO. Bottom line is that although there are differences, yes we are greeks. I had to pledge, go through initiation. I had a big bro. We have rituals at our meetings just like social GLOs do. The only BIG difference is that we don't have social functions every weekend.
That's what I think.
