Nationally Recognized Organization

<p>Im the president of a club in my school. This club is a student chapter of a nationally recognized organization, and this organization is conservative. This organization fights for civil rights, but not in the aclu sense, it fights for civil rights in religious practice. Is it a good idea to specify the name of this organization in college admissions as the name of the club, or should I leave it in general terms like “religious organization” or “religious civil rights organization”…</p>

<p>OR should i specify only for fairly conservative schools like University of Notre Dame and University of Dallas and not for more liberal schools like University of Michigan or NYU.</p>

<p>In addition, I started my Catholic schools first organization dealing with a very controversial issue that I probably shouldnt mention here. Should I mention this in specifics? It might anger some ultra liberal college admissions people, or should I mention this in more general terms too? </p>

<p>Id be very very appreciative of any advice any of you parents can give me!
Thanks in advance !</p>
