I *strongly* suggest that you take your Greek affiliation off your resume, for a few reasons. 1) As much as we all may love being Greek here, not everyone feels the same way and anti-Greek recruiters may automatically pass you over because of your membership. 2) No personal information regarding interests outside work should appear on a resume. List professional organizations only. This prevents discrimination in the job search. It is perfectly legal to pass up someone's resume if they list an affiliation with a Greek organization, or pretty much any organization that doesn't have to do with the job. Being Greek may be a reason for a recruiter to interview you, but it can work equally in the other direction.
A better way to make connections through your sorority is to contact the local alum association, or a director of alumnae relations. Often, these people have information regarding careers and career connections within your group.
