However, for the resume, should I include all the organizations I've been involved with/offices I may hold next semester, or should I limit it to a few? If I'm "too involved" on campus, will chapters think that I won't have enough time for Greek life? I'm pretty good at balancing my time and I know that I can handle it (it may mean that I don't hold leadership positions in certain organizations, or commit to a little less), but will chapters think this?
Also, should I include high school activities on the resume? I know that I will have been in college a year by the time of recruitment but I was really involved in high school and held a lot of leadership positions which I think may be relevant? I'm not sure though.
Also, for the picture- I had senior pictures taken; is it better to attach these, or non-professional photos?
Thank you so much for all of your help!

List everything from high school and college. Your involvement this year has nothing to do with your involvement next year, and no one is going to cut you for being too accomplished. List your high school GPA, as well as your college GPA.
Photos don't have to be professional shots. They should just show who you are and be reasonably recent. If you still look like the girl in your senior photo and haven't lost/gained a lot of weight or cut off/grown out your hair, those should be fine. The photo is not to judge your attractiveness; it is a means for the sorority to know who you are by face as well as name.
When I lived in TX, the AP advised PNMs to submit 2 photos to each recommender-- one head shot and one full length shot. However, as long as you submit a flattering photo so someone will know who you are when you meet her next fall, you'll be fine.
