The docs for apex:selectList:  http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_compref_selectList.htm

 

Your mutiselect attribute is set to true so your activity property needs to be an array of Strings.  In the docs they list is as private and add accessor methods so you would replace your property with something like this:

 

String[] activity = new String[](); 

public String[] getActivity() {
  return activity;
}

public void setActivity(String[] activity) {
  this.activity = activity;
}
