I'd mention it - but in a positive context.

-Volunteered at Ronald McDonald House, Regular Blood Donor,
-Excellent Time Management skills; was able to maintain a 3.5 GPA while serving as President of my sorority.

As for Professors, many GLOs hold an Academia Tea or Brunch or Open House. Everyone invites their favorite professor, and have the tea or brunch while discussing how to maintain better grade averages. Make sure that a chart of sisters & GPAs is displayed (one that skews the curve towards Major Office + Intense Studies = Great GPA). Announce the fact that you have Study Hours, and Midterm and/or Finals Study breaks. Keep the hours short (Sunday, 1-3 or such), so the professor doesn't feel duty bound to stay long, and tell them that their SO is welcome, too. This works quite well on most campuses - but PLEASE keep a list of which sisters wants to invite which professors (have at least one back up), and who RSVP'd. You do NOT want two sisters "claiming" the same professor!
