Speaking as a current undergrad, I would be surprised to see Junior League on someones resume (and not nessicarily pleasantly). Junior League is (in my limited opinion) genrally something you do after college.

For clarification on Junior Leagues social status read Prudence Mackintoshy 'Just as we were, a narrow slice of Texas woman hood'. Basically in the steriotypical deep south social scene, you (starting in youth) are supposed to
1. go to the right camp
2. go to the right private school
3. pledge the right sorority
4. serve your time in JL (and she literally describes it as service).

Hold off on JL till you graduate college!

What I was getting at was whether or not it would be something that would benefit me, or if they would look at it as just a "oh, she's just trying to fit in/look good?"

I guess I should have asked whether or not it would be detrimental, rather than beneficial (because that one is obvious) Sorry guys.
