Applying for a job, internship, or graduate school is very similar too applying for college where your GPA is very important but it won't get you all the way either. As job pools get more competitive, it will be more important than ever to diversify yourself as much as possible.
Volunteering
Someone that is willing to put in their own free time to better the lives of another is a valued characteristic by any recruiter. This is a great oppurtunity to give something back to the community while padding your resume.
Clubs
Being active in any club on campus allows you too socialize, destress, and network with others. The best part of clubs though is the leadership potential that it offers if you get involved at that level. Being a leader of club shows management potential and some well rounded characteristics compared to a GPA score.
Tutoring
If you can teach it, then you've really learned it. The best way to gauge someone's understanding of academic material is the ability to teach others. Many campuses provided tutoring oppurtunties to students who have exeled in certain classes and sometime even pay on an hourly basis.
