Similarly, if you are applying to a meat packing plant, don't put down that you're a member of PETA. I could go on, but I am sure that you catch my drift......

CP2000 is right, once again.
I'm always cautious about resumes - for instance, I was president of College Democrats, but I will not mention that on resumes when applying for jobs in my home county. It's the 2nd most Republican county in the nation, so I don't think being a Democrat will help me much.
I also held 5 offices in my sorority as an active, but my resume simply says "Gamma Phi Beta, Member." If they want to confuse that with an honor society, go for it.
