Clubs to join/ leadership for consulting

I am a sophmore and clubs at my school are competitive. What are some clubs on a resume for consulting. My school has quite a bit of consulting groups, butI know having things beyond that are good. What are some clubs I should join and Ideally? How much and what level of leadership should I have by next fall when applying for junior year internships?

Consulting/ investment clubs are looked upon favorably, sure, but look for something you are truly interested in and in which you want to invest time. Leading a "weird" club out of interest will complement the "usual" consulting involvement with something that makes you stand out. Plus, it would be very easy to talk about it with passion unlike most people who did a president stint in a consulting club for the sake of having it on their resume.
