Putting fraternity involvement on ERAS??

Given that orthopedics is mostly a boys club I was considering listing fraternity membership under professional association. Yay or Nay?

Define involvement.

If you were fraternity president or had a significant leadership role, I think that it is reasonable to list it. If your involvement was limited to just crushing beers and playing video games with your bros, I don't think it really adds anything to your application. Most people don't associate college frats with the word professional.

In my opinion, orthopaedics isn't necessarily a "boys club" anymore -- many programs are looking to diversify their applicant class. Put things on your application that you are passionate about and demonstrate your dedication towards medicine or outside interests.

I agree. I don't think you necessarily need to include this information to get into a 'boys club', but if anything it does give you something to talk about at the interview. And i can't imagine it would hurt
