I also have examples of documents/ publications that I have put together for the sorority in my overall portfolio.

That's how I list mine as well. I'm an International Officer, I've founded and lead an alumnae chapter, I've chaired a Task Force and all of those have given me skills that my job hasn't. I'm much more well rounded than I would be without it. Why wouldn't someone list it?
