Would this go on a resume?

I’m against the grain of the thread here, but it depends on what the activity is and on your level of involvement. There were two activities I did in college that had nothing to do with my major, but I couldn’t imagine leaving them off my resume, and they came up naturally both in interviews and in my discussions with professors. One of them was a Division 1 sport and the other was a volunteer group that I was very involved in all four years of college and was president of by the end. If you can tell a story about your activity, one that would interest an interviewer or a reader of your application, then include it. I leveraged my activities to show leadership skills, diligence, persistence, commitment, and to illustrate myself as someone with interests outside of the nerdy ones usually ascribed to students from my college.
