[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this place so exclusive? My coworker (a technology sales rep, just like me) just got a membership. I know for a fact he got his undergrad only at a state school and is from a working class family in NY. Granted we all make an absolute truck load of money, but that's about all.

I dont see his appeal. There are no business opportunities there and sure the golf is good, but most people in our industry are not CC people and golf is always at places in Loudoun County (many of the technology jobs are based along the Dulles corridor).[/quote]

Sorry, I stand corrected.  My coworker is a member at congressional. I got confused. Maybe that is easier to get into?[/quote]

Congressional is actually more elite and more exclusive. Chevy is a more provincial local neighborhood crowd. [/quote]

Chevy is also cheaper to join, which is why they try market it as being more exclusive. Otherwise they could raise the initiation fee to Congressional levels -- simple market dynamics. As of October 1, the initiation fee was $92k for resident membership versus Congressional's $120k. Chevy annual dues are a bit more than Congressional, though, but only by a couple hundred per month.[/quote]
