If you were prytanis or any other e-board type of position you're probably pretty safe to throw it on your resume, but if you were just frat starring keystone ices, maybe let it come up organically in your interview. Always tailor your CV to your audience.
As an aside, always a good idea to check out your interviewer's LinkedIn and see if that's even something worth bringing up. GDI's tend to ding you if you bring that shit up unprompted.
REAL BIG BALLERS drink NATTY LIGHT
Subtlety drop it into your campus involvement section and only bring it up if promoted. Any one that dings you for being Greek probably isn’t someone you want to work for...

Stop overthinking every single thing. Understand there is a 99.9% chance it means nothing to the person reading your resume. The other 0.01% is it's someone in your fraternity and they recognize it. Any job worth its salt it's definitely not going to help you beyond an icebreaker...
