[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some people clubs are a more enjoyable way to socialize than "partying".

Let me know if there are any other life mysteries I can clear up for you.[/quote]

+1 I'm glad you were not in a club, but others love them and in college, they can be very good for the resume, just like HS clubs are good for college applications. I was personally not in any clubs other than a sorority but I also graduated woefully underprepared to find a job and I regret that.

My DD is not super active in clubs, but she was in a time consuming one last year and when she interviewed for internships, her interviewers were very interested in that club and she believes it helped her get her internship this past summer.

My DS is in an athletic club as well as the student orchestra and a greek house, and he has been able to show leadership on his resume, that again further told his story and bulked up his resume. He also got an awesome internship this past summer.

In this day and age, employers want to see some sort of school involvement. Also, some clubs are highly desired such as investment clubs that business school attendees do and those influence employment outcomes as well.[/quote]
