What do medical schools think of students who are in fraterities? Is it a plus because it is like an extracuricular activity or not? I go to U of Rochester and was wondering.

I am in a well-known national social Fraternity, as are three of my Brothers who are in medical school right now (Hanneman, PCOM, and NYCOM). Although Fraternities traditionally have a bad name, they do indeed promote and help to build time management skills, leadership skills, knowledge of committees, "people skills", and give you something more to your college experience. I am very proud to be in a Fraternity, and I am currently the Vice-President. I am most certainly going to make sure it is on my application to Medical School. By the way...a little FYI... current statistics show that nearly 85% of the United States Congress are in Fraternities or Sororities (President Clinton is Alpha Phi Omega). Many prominent members of our society are in Fraternities...presidents, actors, sports figures, politicians, war heroes, business leaders, and leaders in medicine and education.
Hope this helps. I, too, would be intersted in seeing how this post is answered.
