If we were involved with a campus organization for all of undergrad and had a different position each year, can we list them as separate activities on AMCAS since each position has a different role?

I couldn't find a similar question about this, so thanks for the help!

Do you mean a separate activity of your 15 allotted ones? Don't waste the space, consolidate them under the general heading of the organization and explain each role.
 
Thanks! Yes, that's what I meant, but aren't there character limits now for the descriptions? I'm worried I would not have enough room to describe each role.

If you feel like each position was a completely distinct experience and you have the room, then go ahead and separate them. If you are just doing this to make it look like you did more activities, though, it won't make a difference. You also will not be able to say you did the same activity for several years since you are splitting them up, which would've been a good way to show commitment.
