Indiana University Fraternity Pipelines

I am an incoming freshman to IU Kelley. I am going to be rushing both a social frat (fall) and professional frat (spring) next year. What fraternities have the best pipeline to the IBW (investment banking workshop) and investment banking in general? The social frat i was thinking of rushing is ΣΑΕ; I heard it has a good footing in finance.

Along with fraternities, what clubs and even classes are best to take for admission to the IBW. I know that classes like BUS F-100 are good because the professor of the IBW teaches that class, but what other classes are ideal? For non major classes, should I just take the easiest classes based off RateMyProfessor in a chosen interest to keep GPA high along with interest in those classes? Are there any non Kelley classes ideal to take.

Any advice on these questions and other advice is greatly appreciated.

frat rush based on personality, looks, contributions, social status from high school. if you're going in thinking that you will just use them for recruiting, trust me you wont even make it past the first round

just be genuine. being completely honest, freshmen fall you do not need to worry about recruiting, here is what you should do, genuinely

rush a frat, join 2 - 3 business organizations -- being involved is good for resumes, interviews, and knowing upperclassmen. (the seniors when youre a freshmen will be analysts when youre recruiting, so make friends and plant seeds now!) do not be transactional or annoying, this is the best time to show off your personality and get them know you so they can vouch for you later.

get a 4.0 gpa, take the easiest classes, read the news weekly, keep up with markets, politics, etc. 

thats literally all you need to do as a freshmen. in your spring semester you should start networking with seniors and juniors on how to prepare for recruiting, and obviously try your best to get an internship in anything finance related.
