I'm going into my senior year in college next fall and I am considering taking an acting class pass/fail to work on my speaking skills and body language. It'd be my fifth class when I am only required to take 4, and as I will be busy with recruiting I was wondering if anyone out there has done something similar and taken away anything from it. I know it will be a minimal investment time wise but I just wanted to see if anyone who has done anything similar has seen any noticeable difference in how they present themselves.

This is a fantastic idea and should definitely help with your presentation skills.
+1 on that, sounds like a great idea. I've noticed that a lot of the guys that teach GMAT classes and the banking analyst training programs (Training the Street, AMT, etc.) come from acting backgrounds.
I myself am a senior taking acting class my second semester. It's a lot of fun. I don't know how much of an impact it makes in terms of your presentation skills (I've always been told I'm pretty solid presenting) but it helps a ton with your self-monitoring. You become a lot more aware of how you sound to others and how to better use your emotions, facial and physical cues, and speech cadence to deliver a message in conjunction with what you are saying. I'd say that probably the most useful aspect of acting class is improv theatre, so make sure that there's plenty of that.
