And you ain't gonna list the stuh on your resume that you have taught yourself how to do 'cuz you love your chapter that much? That's crazy!!!
I will be writing grants soon... The fact that I already know how to set up a tax-exempt organization thru the feds just gives me the balance I need to justify why Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. should be included on my professional resume...
Then on top of that, if the folks don't know, then they will ask me, and when they find out, you can see the jealousy in their eyes that ain't nobody ever tell them how to do dat dere first... And I'm talkin' folks...

Listen to AKAMonet - she knows her stuff!
I interview as part of my job. When I see a sorority or fraternity affliliation, especially if an office is listed, I immediately know that this is a person who knows how to budget his/her time!
If you don't list your affiliation, and have an application that forbids mentioning affiliations, be sure to say that you have done volunteer work for (your GLO philanthropy). When questioned, tell the interviewer that you got into it through your sorority or fraternity and have kept up with it. I've talked with others who interview (greek & gdi) and they all agree that it's good pr, for you & the glo!
