Extracurriculars completely moot for PhD admission?

Ah, alright. Well that makes sense.

Extracurriculars DO have bearing in competitions for prestigious scholarships (like the Rhodes, to cite one with which I am familiar), do they not? I realize that this question is only vaguely related to my initial question, as it was about PhD programs, but I wanted to ask while the question was fresh in my mind.
