So I feel like a total failure when typing up my resume?

Be sure to list your paid jobs.
And for some reason, lots of the girls in this area think it's a bad thing to list a high school sorority.
Yes, there are lots of differences between high school and college sororities. But if you belong to one, then you know how an organization works (or doesn't), how to work with a team, and how to plan and execute a project.
If you've been an officer, you know even more.
I see that as excellent experience and I want to know about it.

Yes, absolutely -- probably under "Work Experience."

Are high school sororities common in your area? I'm really surprised.

In my area, the last high school sororities I know of were disbanded years ago.

I don't think that the benefits you listed are unique to high school sororities -- there are many clubs, community service projects, team activities, and school events available to provide those experiences (without the headaches associated with high school social sororities).

Yes, in my area - north Alabama - they are still common.
Of course the benefits are not unique to sororities, even high school sororities.
Those are just reasons to list high school sororities.
