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 it can help. Quite frankly it’s more impressive than a leadership role in a club of 20 people! Some Greek chapters are 500+ students.

But positions like social chair or public relations are pretty niche. Just depends on the position she is applying to, but al of those jobs on exec can be worded to demonstrate valuable transferable skills that peers at same entry-level may lack.

(Even though my niece recently turned down an offer to be president of her thriving sorority at a major public university in order to focus on academics. I thought that this was a mistake. Better to reduce one's course load and graduate a bit later in order to handle this position in a responsible manner. Solid resume booster.)

I never put my sorority or my leadership position in the sorority on my resume. I think that’s weird

That’s a no. Recommend leaving it off the resume. Too much baggage in today’s market.

Being president of my sorority may have got me into a T3 law school, but then I was also no 1 in my class and had a high LSAT, so who really knows. It does go towards leadership ..

Well, the president of my sorority retired at the age of 49 after being a consultant (a job she got straight out of school), so…

No. It's akin to saying you were on the prom committee in high school. Get a real leadership position in an academic organization.

Not really. It gives kids something to talk about for "describe a time when..." type questions. Should they be valued more? Maybe.

Do potential employers value the experience gained from holding an officer position in a sorority? Is it worth the time and effort?
