Extracurriculars for MBA Applications

I have been thinking about doing an MBA in a few years, and am wondering if there are any particularly strong extracurriculars that those of you who have done MBAs would recommend. Looked in the forums but the last post I see is from 2013.

Are there specific organizations that stand out? Is everyone just doing some form of tutoring or volunteering with local food banks / Habitat for Humanity / etc?
