Thanks for all the help so far...it's good to see other balancing things...
Here are my thoughts so far...
I am afraid at my school that any social sororities will not be thrilled about having a service sorority member...I mean there are some I think that won't care but some will and I don't want them if they can't accept me as I am...
As for my service org...Yeah I think I may get the cold shoulder from the older girls that are due to graduate soon, but a lot of the new girls are very open and that's who I am gonna be with for the next few years...and I think that someone needs to open this door so that other people realize it is an option and so that it will be more accepted.

Gamma Sig (my service org) is not very widely accepted on my campus because it does end up with a lot of bigger girls who got turned away from phc recruitment, and I think some of the older girls may be resentful towards social sororities because of that among other reasons. Even if these older girls are not totally happy about it... the last 2 pledge classes we have had are over 50 girls. They make up probably almost if not over half of the sorority's total right now... so my thought is, if they care about me as a person, they will just accept it, and if not then oh well.
I'm going to give it a shot

If you are where I think you are, there are legit reasons (having nothing to do with the size of the girls) that the NPC groups are not down with service sororities that are kind of before your time.

It's not a question of the girls in GSS being "open" - it's a question of whether you are going to be half-assing one group or the other. Unless your GSS chapter really changes how they operate, someone is going to end up getting the short end of your stick.

It is possible to do a service and a social, but not if the service acts really really a lot like a social. (This includes having mixers, participating in Greek Week [rather than reffing or helping] and being paired with fraternities in other Greek activities.)

If it seems to be a problem, stress the fact that you love doing service projects (why you joined a service org?) and are really excited to get involved with the social sorority's philanthropy. I personally love when pnms show interest in philanthropy and not just "being in a sorority".

As for your sercive org I think you said it best:
