I absolutely agree with you. I put all of my AOII extracurriculars on my application and would again. There is another area for scholarly activity such as research. Grad school is a different beast so if you don't know about medical school admissions, don't comment about it. People assume that having success at a social level doesn't factor into medical school admissions, but who doesn't want a physician who can empathize with them or at the very least seem like a normal person?
