Your involvement in high school will show 1) that you get along with lots of people and 2) that you are good at juggling your time – 2 things that are very important if you want to be a part of Greek life. Everyone else who replied to this thread is right, though, when they state that MOST of it is whether you get along with the members.
Rowing sounds neat and different – at least in this neck of the woods – that is definitely something I would talk about. Focus on the most original thing about you and play it up.
A small word of caution though – don’t go in saying “I was president of this and that” because it can sound like you’re bragging and it turns people off. You can mention it, but don’t say to every sister you meet “Hi, I’m Suzy, I was president of this and that in high school.” This girl who was homecoming queen at my high school did that. She didn’t get into a sorority.
