Has anybody gotten a full-time/summer analyst position because they were in a business frat and connected with other brothers?
If so, how did u reach out to other brothers in other chapters?!?!

So what do you do?

At my school it helps a lot.

At my school it helps a lot. You meet directly with recruiters (they hold sessions just for AKPsi and DSP--separately of course) and banks ask you for resumes from interested juniors/seniors.

I guess you could meet someone interested in your field and get some sort of network, so I'd stay in it.

Couldn't hurt. Generally,

Couldn't hurt. Generally, business fraternities require less time (re: opportunity cost) than "social" fraternities. At worst, you increase your network by at least 25 like minded business students.

Waste of time

I was in AKPsi in college. Waste of time in terms of developing real professional contacts. But it's a good way to get a leadership position, and depending on your school, there could be some (relatively) hot girls in it.
