Narcissa:

No, colleges probably will not look at it that closely. For example, I am in Science Olympiad, and I'm the leader of Chem Lab. On applications, rather than saying something like "Leader of Chem Lab Event", I title myself as an "Event Captain". I am a captain, which is essentially the same thing as leader, of an event, so the title "Event Captain" is perfectly fair. It definitely sounds nicer and more significant than "Leader of Chem Lab Event".

In general, little things like that that make you sound more significant are perfectly acceptable, as long as you don't break any major rule (like calling yourself the "Club Organizer" when you are simply in charge of fund raising).
