Who said that the chapter doesn't specify what (type) of organizations are acceptable? Some chapters may have very specific criteria, others may have more general guidelines and require discussion before making a decision.
During my undergraduate membership, I don't recall any instances when someone had already done X and it ended up being voted down and it being a problem. As I said, most of us came to the organization with established service relationships, and nobody every got upset at not being able to apply that time spent toward our service requirement.
