Greek Affiliations on your CV?

[SoEnchanting]

Hey guys I am in need of advice, and I am hoping someone on here knows the answer. I am preparing my curriculum vitae, and am wondering if it is appropriate to include your Greek Membership. I am in the medical field, and so it is academically/medically-geared. All of the templates I've seen for this kind of thing include a spot for "Professional Affiliations" for your academic extracurricular activities or professional greek organizations, but I don't know if LTO necessarily falls into that category since it is a social sorority.

So... Leave it out? Keep it in? I am hoping there's a former lit or business major or someone who can help me! Thanks!

I've read HR advice where it says just leave it out unless it's an honor society or professional fraternity. There are a lot of GDIs out there who just don't like us, so better safe than sorry.

I put it in simply because for me it's relevant job experience. I was webmaster for two years. I probably wouldn't include it otherwise though.

I too include it in my CV because I have worked in the archives and still work with the Archivist - so professional experience. I also put AOII on my resume along with other organizations I belong to as I am still active (and have held offices) but not organizations that I am not active in.

I put my sorority on my resume because I am still an active volunteer. If I wasn't I don't think I would.

A medical CV is a little different than a resume....so I would leave it off there.

I actually have a scientific and teaching CV and I include my affiliation on both. I put it under professional/volunteer activities. It has never caused a problem with me.
