"Extracurricular Activities" section under "Employment"

Do we have to fill this section out? I listed a few of my extracurriculars on my resume, and it doesn't show this section as being mandatory.
Also, I guess I'm just being super paranoid about C&F, but I'm afraid if I omit stuff it could be bad? I had the same question about employment. I know they're probably just trying to police major stuff, but I'm kind of worried about messing up any information or omitting anything
at all because I don't want it to come back and bite me in the butt.

Usually yes, but it should be the same info that is already listed on ur resume...meaning this section, as well as any section, should match with ur resume...if u go into more detail its fine as well, but just make sure there is no major discrepancy between this section and ur resume (ie dates for stuff dont match up or descriptions are contradictory)

So what if there's something we omitted from our resume that's an extracurricular activity (like because we were trying to shorten it), but we include it on the form?
I had a similar question for employment. I worked at a restaurant for like 2-3 months freshman year and I don't include that on my resume, but I did include it under the employment section. Is that a big deal?

I don't think it matters really. I did the same.
As for C&F, as long as you're being honest in both places, then I don't think it matters what-so-ever. But I don't know for sure. I have no real knowledge of C&F, but I highly doubt it is that concerned with the dates for your participation in Campus Beautification Day.
