I go to a large state school (UVA/UMich/UT) and couldn't have imagined getting an offer w/o being in a specific finance club on campus. Pretty sure everyone would have ignored my emails without that connection. Was curious how being in an investment or finance club or a frat helped you in locking down the offer. Did they do resume books with the org or did alum help pull you in?

I am at a state school in the south and I had applied to a BB's spring week and the guy that was reviewing resumes happened to be a VP and the lead of recruitment in the area I was interested in. Turned out he was in my fraternity about 6 years prior and saw it on my resume and pulled it aside. Smooth sailing from there.
I go to a state school semi target. Most alumni were very helpful regardless of club/frat. That being said, I met people through introductions from seniors I met in finance clubs, but I got just as good responses from cold emailing alumni.
Went to an ivy and most of my friends who went to EB/top BB werent in frats or very involved with the finance clubs (outside of just being on the listserv).
