what i would liek to know is how do those who are both GSS and APO balance the two? how can you equally serve two organizations that essentially are both service groups? i have my own personal opinions on it...but i'd like to hear how that works.....it's like trying to be in two socials in my mind

The one person who I know did that was a brother of Alpha Phi Omega (rechartered the chapter at U of Pennsylvania) as an undergraduate and then went to graduate school at a school where the APO chapter was all-male (Drexel) and decided to pledge GSS while there. Once she graduated, she ended up with her major service as an alumnus to Circle K, which she had joined before either APO or GSS.

That sort of serial membership doesn't surprise me (either like above or transfering schools from a large school where you belong to APO to a small school that only has GSS or vice versa), I would have done it under appropriate conditions. But I agree with the above poster that being active in both APO and GSS on the same campus at the same time would be sort of like belonging to two socials.
