Should I start a M&A society ?

Got rejected from university Finance society, could being a founder of an M&A society help my chances of reaching investment banking summer internship? ( I am a first year ) I have plans set out on what the society would accomplish, for example fake merger pitches ( I have it more planned out than that ) Is M&A too specific?

More of a check the box kinda thing in my opinion but still founding a club shows some ambition for sure
