And I have a opportunity to join a new frat in my university and become one of the founders (founding father) and potentially become a director or president.

This is definitely different than joining a regular chapter. It will require more time because you are the ones creating this organization essentially from scratch. You will set the rules, you will set the ethos, you will be responsible for recruiting people into an organization that doesn’t have much in the way of tangible benefits (unless the national org is just throwing a ton of money at you to get a house and stuff).

My involvement in greek life was a major part of my application to MD/PhD programs, but as stated above, no one cared what fraternity I was in or the fact that I was in one. What I did in the various positions I held and the experiences I was able to draw from for essays were impressive though.
