Resume
Actually I have DPhiE on my resume but I have it listed under "affiliations and recent volunteer experience"--and the reason I do list it is because what I have done for the sorority is directly related to my line of work. I work in alumni relations and fundraising--and my experiences as a sorority leader and a foundation board member have helped me immensely in terms of being able to offer examples of how I work with volunteers, develop programs, manage relationships, raise money etc. At the height of my experience, I was giving more than 20 hours a week to the sorority, and it could have been a full time job. I also have examples of documents/ publications that I have put together for the sorority in my overall portfolio.
So--as with everything--I think there is a time and a place that it may "work" to share your sorority affiliation and activities on the alumnae level. Obviously, you probably don't want to mention that you were "Rush Chair" as a collegian on your resume, especially if you more than a year our of school.
