take it from a vanderbilt senior who has done fdp, vic, and one of the business frats. At the end of the day, none of them really matter, none are going to get you the job, and no one who is interviewing you will care or even know what these clubs are about or how “prestigious” they’re regarded on campus.
Business frats are fun, good to be surrounded by equally motivated people, make new friends you can hang out with if you intern in the same city, etc. There was this club, not sure if its a thing anymore called financial modeling, that one was really good too make sure to check it out.
In my opinion what mattered was going to networking events, connect with alums, and take fin modeling and reporting/accounting classes as part of the business minor, really understand the material don’t just take them to have them on your transcript. Besides, vic was also good for extra practice, rest meh, just extra work.
Dont forget Kappa Sig or SAE
