Best extracurriculars to take at community college for transfers?

Basically the title. I'm at a CC rn and I got good grades rn and I'm gonna be applying as a transfer to schools pretty soon. All I do outside of school though is play a sport (2 if you include chess lmao). What else should I do? The clubs at my school I think are pretty weak, nobody really goes to them, but I'll do a little more digging. Honors societies? Those are good right? Anything else that I missed lmk.

I'm into MMA, currently into chess, I like finance & econ but I don't think our econ club is active really and there is an accounting club but I haven't taken accounting yet so I might hold off on that until next semester.

Other than that, I mean anything business I think would be cool. Finance obviously. Other than that I'm open to suggestions. As I said, currently I only have one and I need to stand out somehow.

I'm a sophomore at CC now and have been involved in student government since spring semester. I would definitely recommend SG because it gives you a chance to practice your presentation skills and you can point to it as a "leadership" role on your resume.

Also, there are some nice perks associated with being a "Student Senator". For instance, at my college we get priority registration and because I serve in an executive role the school covers my first 12 hours of tuition. There's also good networking opportunities, as our SG interacts w/college admins on a regular basis.

No pain no game.
