It is an experience of a life time. If you show something like that on a resume, any Greek Member will realize, that you are a special person with training and back ground!

All I can say is The Very Best Of Luck if you can get a position like this. It is not easy at all and be very stressfull! Oh, but Rewarding!
I can testify to this. Interviewing for my first job after getting "off the road" with the GM of the division who said, "so you were a 'field frog', i always wanted to do that' -- the rest of the interview went great after that and I was hired the next day. Being a consultant gave me so many real examples to tell of what I had accomplished.

While at that job, I applied for a new position in a different job function. The VP of that area had started a chapter of her sorority at Princeton I believe and had great things to say abot her experience with their consultants. She said she brought me in because the greek experience on my resume impressed her so much. I didn't get that job because it was a more senior level position, but I was invited to interview in that area again and got the inside scoop on positions because of that connection.

I hear stories of some employers being biased against greeks, but I have yet to experience it.
