Don’t really want people to think I’m some party animal or degenerate by putting my frat on my resume.

What is a considered a good GPA?
.
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
What is a considered a good GPA?
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.
3.5+ is generally the minimum stated online, unless you have some crazy hook or bust your ass networking. some 3.3s get in but it is not an easy path
3.7+ is a very good GPA for IB
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
Just wrapped up SA recruiting and it honestly benefitted me. I also mentioned that I was pledgemaster for a term and honestly got a lot of jokes from the MDs which allowed the room to lighten up a bit. It’s a good thing to mention and shows you’re a sociable/fun guy outside of all the finance stuff.
Thats so sick! Did you finish up for 23 SA? Which firm?
Personally didn’t put it on my resume - feels like more risk than reward. Can network directly with members of your frat and mention it off resume, but I always worried too much about the risk of some weirdo throwing resume straight in garbage if they see a frat
Understandable, I had the same worries too lol
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
I'd honestly list it if you want to. Probably more upside than downside.
