I am in a fraternity(at a christian school). I know what comes to people's mind when they think frat, so my question is, would it be wise to put on an application that i have held many leadership roles in my fraternity? Just for a leadership stand point.

Frats are seen in a new light now a days. It's becoming more known that a large population of frats are academically related somehow. Even if you are in a social frat, I would put it down if I held leadership positions. It's no biggie, taupac.
Yes, they are seen in a new light, but I bet you are referring to people in the under 30 crowd.
My dad (in his late 50's, probably the same age as many adcom members) interviewed somebody for a job and he listed "Chair of Social Committee of [insert frat]". While I am not sure what my dad based his decision off of, that bit of 'leadership' impressed him so negatively that he continues to make fun of it years later.
wow,h202, that sucks...
ha, i am by no means the "party planner." I am in charge of the social service section(which i think sounds a little better myself).
Only reason i would put it would be because it has enfluence my life greatly. i also figure it shows a little different angle on the normal pre-med student.

Leadership is leadership. If you had an officer position within your fraternity, your ability to uphold responsibilities, fulfill chapter goals, and lead a group of individuals definitely counts as leadership, and in my opinion, it can be listed as part of your leadership experience.

It wouldn't hurt anyway. I would put it down.
