<p>Leadership does not mean having been “elected” to positions in clubs , team captain etc. Colleges know those things are popularity contests just as well as you do, anyway. </p>
<p>If you want to be able to document genuine leadership experiences, look around your town and see what needs doing. Then do it. You can organize a dance for sr citizens, clear & maintain a trail in a nature preserve, set up a series of holiday parties for the kids at the homeless shelter, run food or book or other drives for almost any organization that serves others (literacy, etc), help the animal shelter have adopt-a-pet days–whatever your interests are, find a way to help someone better themselves or their neighbors related to your interests, and do it. Whining on a forum about “leadership” bering a popualrity contest is not exhibiting any leadership tendencies.</p>
