How do you see APO as being different from a social fraternity or sorority?

People do both all the time. In the chapter I advise, there are about 15-20 people (out of around 275-300 brothers) who are also in various socials on campus. Some pledged both at the same time, but I wouldn't have recommended it. As the other posters, I'm more concerned about the extending of bids to 20 people out of 60-70 people. APO is not an organization in which you compete with others for membership; you should only be competing with yourself and whether or not you can live up to the challenge presented by the chapter. I'd be interested in knowing which school this is as well, but like Senusret, I'd prefer to hear over PM out of respect to the chapter which may not be aware what they are doing is against policy or there might be a miscommunication here.
