Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
If you're thinking to be strategic, you might decide based on whether the MCAT score and GPAs make you a good candidate for top research schools, whether you want to emphasize service to others, or if you want to look more appealing to schools that emphasize primary care, as examples. Or you could pick the one that had more impact on your thinking. Or on which needs more space to explain fully.
I'd suggest listing them in reverse chronological order, with the most recent first, so the header info applies to it. Contact info for others goes with the narrative description.
The title should cover everything in the space, like Collegiate Short-Term Jobs, or some such.
You'd want to look at the PDF view accessible from Main Menu>Print to see how it will be viewed.
For general strategic considerations, I'd pick #2.
I have no direct experience with the AACOMAS application and its unwritten expectations for each activity designation. For AMCAS, if these people are sick or injured at the time you speak with them and being currently cared for in the clinic for those problems, then what you describe is clinical experience.
If you want to include the hours of a future activity that you are already engaged in (but keeping in mind that you won't be judged by future plans that could fall through) you can consider these options:
@Catalystik Thanks for this speedy response! This is really helpful 🙂
I think you're good to go, keeping it in the PS only.
1) I think it's fine to list all of it as a nonmedical volunteer position, if that's where you feel you're lacking, though you may split out the shadowing and list that separately with your other Shadowing experiences (taking care not to double count the hours). But your description of your other volunteering makes me think you won't actually have completed very many clinical volunteer hours by the time you submit, which concerns me. Frankly, future hours predications are not much considered when evaluating an applicant. See post #318 above.
After reviewing your stats elsewhere, I'm wondering if you plan to apply MD/PhD?
These are topics that fall out of the scope of this thread.
A WAMC thread would be a good place to discuss this further.
No, it won't hurt you.
Adcomms will vary in their opinions just as they'll vary in whether they once had a Greek affiliation themselves. Sadly, it's not impossible that you'd be tarred with someone else's brush. Your best bet is to emphasize the volunteer/philanthropic work and the leadership roles that you've taken on due to being a frat member (particularly if you led initiatives to reverse negative community opinion). Maybe avoid mentioning the "social" aspects.
Generally, if one doesn't feel they have a chance at research-focused schools, they can make a strategic choice to emphasize other components of the application that will make them more appealing to schools with a different focus. Or they can be honest and leave research as MM.
As far as charity work goes, it should be easy as there are other organizations that could be named. You would have to decide if your leadership roles could be presented in a similar way.
Edited after seeing the details below:
I edited my first response to better reflect this more detailed information.
Enter your best faith estimate of the number of hours you volunteered.
A current person holding an officership at the frat should be able to attest to your current and past involvement, especially if you alert them ahead of time that they might get a contact.
Use your college Registrar. They should have a record of all collegiate awards, honors, and scholarships.
Using one of them (if warned ahead of time), or secondarily yourself, would be acceptable.
Enter a 1 unless you had to sit through awards' ceremonies, in which case you can total up that time.
