So if you have a job and are Greek you don't need to do anything else.

I realize that you're only talking from a resume perspective, but I don't think I agree with you even from that perspective exclusively. This is one of those things that varies a lot from region to region and field to field...I can tell you that if you were applying to Yale Law School, and all you did in college was a part-time job and an NPC sorority, that would be considered almost a blank resume, even if you were president of the sorority and philanthropy chair and all of that. It would NOT be considered even on the same plane as being president of the student government, or College Republicans, or Habitat for Humanity, all of which might help you get in. (NPHC organizations are viewed somewhat differently.)
Now, that may simply be a reflection of bias on the part of the admissions officers at graduate schools in the Northeast, rather than of any truth about the depth of the experience you've had. But if you're trying to build your resume to impress that particular group of people, Greek life alone won't do.
