As a member at a predominately Greek school in the South, let me give you some advice: List only the most important activities to you....nothing is worse than when I ask a rushee about an activity she has done in hs and she says "oh, that, well, I never reallllllllly went....". I too participated in many activities, in fact my senior stats took up 3/4 of the yearbook page! But just make sure you know what you're talking about, and can carry on a convo with each topic you list....you get 10-15 minutes...make it lasting! As for the resume itself, I'd ditch the pink paper. It can be construed as "sucking up" to a group that has that color, and although it will stand out, it seems to be trying a little too hard. plain white is perfectly fine. If you'd like something different, have your monogram at the heading, or4 use an ecru shade. Classic, conservative....that's the name of the game in the south, esp. during Rush. Concentrate on standing out AT the house, not on pepto paper. USE EVERY REC YOU CAN! I cannot stress that enough! Good luck!
