Why club doesn’t hold up after college

Just a random thought. There are a lot of finance/banking clubs. And it’s provides good friendship and network to break in. Why the club network doesn’t carry after people graduate? Do you know any college clubs that still maintain and socialize after college? Is there any college like club for professionals?

There are a few informal iterations of this outside of college, but nothing structured.

I generally find ppl of similar interests in ‘high finance’ informally find each other and stick together. It’s like attending the same TMT sell side conferences over and over again, you naturally see the same ppl there all become friends (at least ‘industry friends’). Same for those distressed bankers who keep running into each other, pitching the same pre-pack deal. Or those wild and crazy value investors ;) on Value Investors Club (VIC) finding each other at VIC meet ups (pre-covid) and bond over deep value securities. CBS’s Value Investing program is fairly tight and continues post-MBA, it’s also a self-replenishing network as alums mentor current students and the cycle continues....w/ CBS’s overall investment club (CSIMA) has similar attributes.

But a formal club of industry professionals doesn’t really exist outside of school, unless you’re at a very high level (i.e. Tiger 21).

 

Started my own finance club. The founders and the people who joined the year after are/will definitely stay in close contact.

 

There’s industry clubs that serve a similar role. For example, ULI is huge for real estate, at least it is in my market but seems to be the case nationally too
