Club membership alone doesn't count for much. I would list it as Leadership, putting the dates you held office and hours per week of activity. In the narrative mention that you were a member for 1.5 years prior to election to an office. it looks good that you took on responsibility after a period of familiarization with the club.I was a biology club member for 2 1/2 years, but held a position for one year. For entering start to end date in AMCAS, should I put the 2 1/2 years, and then in the description mention that I was a member for 2 1/2 years and that I held said position for 1 year? Or should this be listed seperately? Also, what should this be listed under? leadership, extracurricular?
Or, you could list the club membership separately if you have lots of slots left, going into more detail about the activities you engaged in due to the club (hopefully, not just showing up for meetings once a month).
