is this safe to put on my resume?
hello all!
i have a question, of course, and unfortunately it just hit me now, after my resume has been sent out to half of my reccomenders already!
i am rushing at a large, conservative school in the deep south - from my username, you probably can figure it out pretty quickly...;-). however, while southern, i am also a - GASP! - liberal! for the past two summers, i have done extensive work on political campaigns for prominent democrats - i interned for a local campaign last summer, and i am interning for obama this summer.
taking into account the area of the country and the political climate of the school that i will be attending (and the likely conservative political leanings of my rec writers and potential sisters), how should i handle this information? should i keep things vague - saying that i "interned for two political campaigns" - or keep my resume as-is, stating exactly who i interned for? i don't want to take the chance of my status as a pledge being jeopardized due to something like that. i would hope that my recommenders and potential sisters would not think less of me for harboring political leanings different from their own, but i really do not want to take the chance if there is one! what do y'all think?
