UCLA Finance Clubs

Hi everyone, 

I am a senior in a high school that is a pretty big feeder to UCLA, so I am pretty confident that I can get in.

I have heard that the finance clubs are kind of a make or break at UCLA, especially given that UCLA doesn't have an undergrad business school.

I was wondering whether the process to get into the clubs like BAM, BVI, BHF, BIT (did I get these right?) is meritocratic at all or if it is kind of like a fratty culture. 

Also, is it possible to break in without them?

Thanks
