Its true, its true.

Uh, actually, that's wrong, that's wrong. I've been friends with a girl in the UK chapter since freshman year, and through her have met several other girls in the chapter. They ARE a social organization.
Other people have already shown how they are social in classification. They are also social in nature because they get together all the time, do things as a chapter, etc. They even had an unofficial Phi Sigma Rho house last year (not sure if they still have it this year). It was explained it to me as that they are a social sorority, but with the engineering emphasis they realize that that can be a very demanding major that can take time away from the sorority. They are probably more cooperative with situations like a member needing to take a semester off to co-op, for example. BUT they are not like, say, the German honor society (a professional organization) that gets together once a semester to induct new members and that's it.
Just because they're not NPC doesn't mean that they are not a social sorority. And by the way, Phi Sigma Rho is an associate member of UK's Panhellenic Council, so I don't see how they could not be classified as a social organization!
