I'm trying to figure out what needs to go on my resume.. Do activities like intramural sports go on there?

If you think that intramural sports helped you develop qualities to become an optometrist then yes. For me I considered it almost like a job, you want to show the optometry schools your applying to your academic background, as well as your professional experience (shadowing, jobs, volunteering, clubs, etc.) I played D3 college soccer, and was actually a captain last year, I didn't put it on my resume. Best things to put are there is the stuff that shows your character, academic "good-standing," and your experience in the field or your major.
