“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Some good advice I got about my own resume (which was pretty solid already) from our mba career services office, tack on some results for those bullets. "Contacted 50 blah blah...resulting in $X, percent increase etc." A lot of your bullets could benefit from some results.
President of fraternity, while more worthy of mention than just "member" of fraternity, is not really something I would present in the same category as work experience. That goes double for the honor society.
You are almost a college graduate and mentioning your high school athletic achievements. Stop now. Find a more relevant recent way to demonstrate ice hockey interest. No one wants high school harry.
No need to have a "skills" heading under a "Skills" section.
I personally wouldn't list my SAT, getting a little old for that. Also, I'm "only" in my late-ish twenties and I have no idea what a 2060 score means. The same will hold true for those older than me, unless it's HR perhaps. Leave it off or if it's that great convert to a percentile.
Taking a quick look,
Take out "/4.0"
Leave your SAT, but separate it a bit from GPA
Take out a few Relevant Courses so that it fits on 2 lines - Calc II and Econometrics should be enough
Remove the sub bullet points and make everything a primary bullet point
Expand on your bullets - show not just what you did, but also how you did it and the impact made on your team
Punch up your verbs and all initial verbs that start your bullet points should be past tense
Separate Work Experience and Leadership Experience - it will allow you to keep your experiences in chronological order
You might want to remove honor society from your experience since it is more of an honor and can be mentioned in your education section, rather than as an experience
Separate Languages and Technical Skills into 2 separate lines
