<p>What would be the best way to portray being T-shirt Chair for my sorority on a law school application resume? I want to show that I'm actively involved in my sorority (you never know who might be reading your app!), but I also know that it can be considered a frivolous and possibly even detrimental designation.</p>
<p>Please leave it off. Yes, it can be considered frivolous (Legally Blonde is a fictional story and Elle Woods is not a real person).</p>
<p>Is there not a more official name for the position than “T-Shirt Chair”? One of my kids is VP of one EC and also has public relations responsibilities for her sorority. Her job description in each position includes apparel orders. I think it shows involvement and planning skills to be the person in charge of this - there’s a lot of money involved, as well as business communication with the suppliers (to say nothing of the high degree of people skills required to please the inevitable prima donnas). </p>
<p>I agree that “T-Shirt Chair” sounds frivolous. If that’s the position’s actual name, you might just want to highlight the responsibilities after noting your membership in the chapter. “Responsible for apparel orders, including vendor selection and $5K annual budget” or something like that.</p>
<p>If you have more compelling ECs or business skills, you could certainly omit this; but I think it’s a good idea to indicate some idea of the scope of your involvement unless your resume is already full of better items.</p>
<p>I agree with frazzled.</p>
