Hey, I'm a brother of the Sigma Chi fraternity. I was wondering if it's beneficial to include it in my Resume or is it just fluff?
How about being in the President's Honor Roll? Important or fluff?

leave it a there but dont
leave it a there but dont waste too much space on it
Yeah definitely put both on
Yeah definitely put both on there. Being in a frat helps in that it shows you're socially active and normal enough to be admitted into a frat (unless it's a really nerdy frat..but people will generally assume it's not). It will also help if you're being interviewed by someone who was in your frat at your particular school (it helps less if you're interviewed by someone who's a brother of your frat but not your school's chapter).
agreed
also if you hold any position in the frat, put it on to show that you have leadership qualities.
I would definitely put it in
I would definitely put it in there, not because it tells people you are cool or anythign like that but if anyone who looks at your resume was in your fraternity they will look out for you.
i agree with the above
i agree with the above poster-def put in therein case someone at a bank from your frat at another chapter comes upon your resume. ive seen kids who otherwise wouldnt get interviews at certain banks get pulled in through fraternity connections
Put it on there because it
Put it on there because it shows that you are normal. As far as getting an interview because of your respective fraternity, this is far fetched. Just because you are a brother, does not mean you will be a good worker. Also, many fraternities have rifts between different chapters... i.e. Sig Ep has balanced man and traditional chapters, both of which talk shit about the other. Of course, you never know.
It certainly doesn't hurt to put it on though, which I think is what you are asking.

not that far-fetched at all for a frat brother to look out for his own unless of course a chapter really hates another one.
my md was in my frat at a
my md was in my frat at a different school, it was no means the reason why i got the job, but at the same time during the interview he was like "nice we are both alphas...md x and y were in blank frat but we are on the same team", i'm sure it helped

In regards to the Presidential Honor Roll, from what I've heard it's not real. If I remember correctly it is one of those scam honor roll societies. Not real, just taking your money.

what money? The School's Pressident's honor roll... you get a letter of admission into it, no paying involved
Thanks for all the
Thanks for all the responses, I guess it can't hurt. The thing is space is very valuable in my resume (or any resume for that matter) so I only want to make space for things that will truly help
