Question about my recruitment application
My school put up it's application for recruitment quite recently, and though I have until two weeks prior to submit it, I (for obvious reasons) wanted to get started early. The application itself is pretty straightforward, but I've found that I have one sticky spot with it. A section of the application asks for employment history, which considering the qualities looked for in girls going through the process strikes me as a pretty common question for recruitment applications. I assume that internships count in terms of employment, and I've had a few that are rather impressive. The issue is that, as a political science major and someone who is really involved in politics, they have all been in that arena; as all the Greek women in my life are quick to remind me, politics is a no-no during recruitment (which I absolutely understand, and am happy to adhere to). My internships have all been with various Democratic causes, and my campus is pretty much mostly liberal, but I worry that including these on my resume might alienate some of the more conservative people in the Greek system. I've asked a few friends who are sorority members what they think, and they don't see the problem with me just listing them as long as I don't alienate people when they meet me (after all, being involved doesn't mean you're overbearing, etc.), but I'm still a little hesitant to list the internships (despite the fact that I believe they show commitment, loyalty, and responsibility on my part). What do you all think? To include or not to include? If it helps, without these internships, I have one other job to list.
Thanks so much in advance, and I'm SO sorry for the novel I just wrote!
