Take out leadership experience on resume?

Hi, I'm a senior asking for resume advice! I plan to apply for FT consulting and was wondering whether I should have a Leadership Experience section. Currently, I have 5 internships to include, the oldest one being a S&T position at a BB.

I have the option to: 1. Have all my 5 internships under Work Experience without the Leadership Experience section. 2. Have 4 of my internships under Work Experience with the Leadership Experience being the President of a Consulting Club.

I know consulting firms value the leadership aspect, and yet the BB experience definitely has the brand name, so I am not sure which one is the best route.

Thanks in advance.

You mentioned that you have 5 internship - are the other 4 equally rewarding / eye-catching with the S&T BB? If not, you might want to consider taking away one of the other 4 internships you listed instead (which is what I do - I have 4 internships but only listed 2 to make room for leadership / extracurricular / volunteering activity).

After all, I always get questions on my leadership experience. Just my 2c for you to consider.
