Why must it be a loyalty issue? Do you feel you can only be a member of one organization in your life? Most people I know are involved in several organizations and can juggle their time.
My father joined 3 GLOs when he was in college: a social and 2 professionals (business & law). After graduation he got involved in the Elks, Optimist, Kiwanis, and a few other groups. This is totally normal, at least in my mind.
Me, I'm involved with my fraternity as an alumni volunteer (chapter advisor and as a staff member at different levels). Am also involved with a parliamentarian club, toastmasters, and am an active scouter. My groups meet weekly, biweekly, monthly, in-person and by conf call. Its all about managing your time and making a decision on how you spend your time. (if I have a conflict for my time between group X and group Y, I decide depending on what is needed from me, NOT becauce one group is more important then another).
In college, most people get involved with several groups because these groups meet different needs. Being involved with a social GLO will met one need. Joining a professional GLO would met another, a service GLO another, and so on. Why do some who join a social GLO feel they can't join and be involved with other groups on campus??
