Admitted freshman in class of 2026 and very excited to be going to Yale next year. However, I wanted to get a head start on which clubs are most worthwhile to join. So far I've found:
Would appreciate any insight and advice!

I've heard Skull & Bones is killer for your resume.
And it just sounds cool
Wow what a non-target statement. If you went to a target you would realize that you cannot put Skull and Bones on your resume; indeed you wouldn't need one.

;get laid; that'll get you further professionally/personally than joining some club
Pizz’s advice for everything: get laid.
Having a tough time in life? get laid.
Trying to meet new friends? get laid.
Car troubles? get laid.
Struggling with Harvard CS 50? get laid.
Having girl troubles? get laid.
YSIG, frats/sororities, YAI are the three worth your time, all selective to an extent. YUDI is a joke mostly. YSQRG is newer and I don't know much, but if you want to be a quant trader, extracurriculars don't matter, just have a 3.8+ GPA in Math/Physics/Astro/CS. Current senior, pm if questions.
& re: the frats, SigNu/LEO/SigChi have the best wall street outcomes by far, followed by Zeta & ADphi, but those are the football/lacrosse frats so not really open to Narps. DKE is trying to revive but probably won't be real again till the end of your time at Yale, and if you're posting this as a senior in high school, zero percent chance you would like the vibe, but they're the other one with a good alumni network.
Thank you for the help! I will keep those three in mind then. I also found two more clubs called Dwight Hall Socially Responsible Investment Fund and Urban Philanthropic Fund. Do you have any opinions on these?
Dwight has a really good track record of putting kids into historically less traditional ESG-focused finance-related fields (endowments, congress, corporate sustainability, major institution sustainability initiatives like Blackrock's) but isn't really for the type of finance that this website skews towards. I have some buddies in UP Fund but don't really know much about it, other than that they're successful/intelligent/driven people. Very anecdotal, but I know a few kids who did that and went MBB. If you're interested in MBB/consulting, the Yale Undergraduate Consulting Group is solid. Also, if you're of a certain affinity, find that group's finance club -- Sube for the Latin folks, Smart Women's Securities for women, and there's a lot more I can't remember. Pretty much all of those are really really good.
That Yale thing...
