Many Omega Phi Alpha ladies have dual membership in NPC and NPHC sororities - and we can, because we are a service sorority. If we were affiliated with a national organization, it would be along with professional fraternities and sororities such as AKPsi (the co-ed business frat), etc. - things that do not disqualify you for membership in other organizations.
Even though some social fraternities and sororities are more service-based than others (I don't want to point any fingers here, so I won't), they are still not purely service fraternities/sororities.
On a sidenote, does anyone know - since APO went coed, are there any all-male service fraternities?

Well, not just 'service-based'. We are a Service Fraternity vs. a Social Fraternity. Thus members can join us and a Social Fraternity or Sorority. The 'you can join only one' doesn't apply to us.
There are only 2 Service Sororities: Gamma Sigma Sigma and Omega Phi Alpha. All the others are either social, honorary, or professional.
I would think that regardless of whether or not the social sorority in question is Latino, Historically Black, NPHC, NPC, etc, the same 'rules' applies as with social fraternities: you get to join one.
I can't speak on whether one can disassociate from one and then join another. Will leave that to those qualified to answer that.
