AGR does refer to itself that way, as perhaps do a few other GLOs. If they're being classified, they'd be best classified in the manner they describe themselves ("social-professional') or as social, non-general (or special interest) fraternities. They shouldn't be identified simply as "professional."

I'm trying to figure out how you actually draw the distinction. It's pretty clear that you can't be an AGR and be in another social fraternity. Can you be an AGR and be in another professional fraternity?
