He is a college student so he doesn't have a ton of other things (yes he has had jobs and currently works but still not that much experience) and he thinks it shows he is smart and has a leadership position. It's not a big school or large chapter but it helps.

My older kid also had college leadership positions but since he has been out of college for a while and he has better stuff on his resume, he dropped those off his current resume.

Even from a school like a top academic public university?

PP here - my older DS took off high school and college leadership when his resume was filled without things post-graduation. I think you could leave it on if you think it flushes out the experience, my DS had other things he wanted to highlight.

It’s more impressive than being the Border Czar 2021-2025.

Even for a recent or future college grad with little or no work experience ?

To be blunt, if you would discard an applicant's resume for containing a line about a position in a sorority, you are showing poor judgment.

Yes. They should spend that time and energy volunteering or interning or something. Being in a sorority (unless a purely academic one that does service projects) is silly.

Many of the young women in my DD’s sorority do volunteer work outside of the sorority, and have summer internships. They can walk and chew gum at the same time.
