I'd put it. Being in a frat shows people that you're social and probably chill/likable to be around. Especially if you have an extremely high GPA, which lets people know that you're capable of putting your work first while still having fun. Work hard play hard is the work culture at a lot of investment banks

 

anything above a 3.9+ is considered high. I'd be weary putting your frat with anything below a 3.7, but a 3.9 really shows you're capable work hard/play hard.

 

Yes definitely, no one thinks that if your GPA is good/you have decent internships. Plus a large percentage of IB people were in frats / if someone happened to be in the same frat they will automatically like you

Only thing I'd steer away from is putting like social chair, new member trainer etc - stick with the name only unless you were President/VP Finance

 

Don't add it. Very high risk if someone disagrees with frat culture and can ding you. If you're trying to show that you're social, can work hard play hard, and in a frat that can definitely be alluded to in calls and interviews with the right crowd.

 

Find it really harsh to reject some kid with a 3.9+ who is in a fraternity.

Shows that he knows how to handle work while still finding time to let off steam and be social.

 

A ton of people in finance were in fraternities and look favorably on frats, despite what the woke mob would have you believe
