Post-college, professionals and academics view Greek life differently. The "alumnae network" is something that you seek out by making calls, emails and sending letters-- not an established party line that finds you a job with an alumna. This doesn't make me less proud of my membership-- but there is a time and a place. I wouldn't list my faith-based activities on a resume, either. Discrimination exists, and I'd rather not be passed over for a job or a program because of someone else's personal biases or in trying to make a statement for all of Greekdom.

Same here. ZTA and any of my involvement is no where to be found on my resume. Most people see greek life as a college thing only. The last thing I need is for my sorority to conjure up any stereotypes when I go in for my interview.
