[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most clubs are open to anyone. It's just that people make a ton of noise when they encounter the ones that have a tryout/application/etc. [/quote]

Not true for Greek life and club sports [/quote]

Again, not true for all schools. For example, Davidson has different eating houses for female students, which are social clubs like a sorority, and anyone who wants to join will receive a spot. [b]Same for club sports at Duke, if I remember correctly. No cuts.[/b] [/quote]

How are there no cuts for club sports at Duke? That makes no sense.  Club women's soccer at UVA is like D3 level soccer (many kids chose not playing soccer at UVA over attending a D3 to play soccer). Tryouts had about several hundred kids for a half dozen spots. I have a hard time believing Duke is different. [/quote]

We were told this is true for women's club lacrosse at Duke. Maybe they have an A team that travels and a B team that does not?

I think that's the case at Wake Forest. When we visited, we watched the women's club lacrosse B team play William & Mary. The level of play was strong, but not upper D1 level. My kid's assessment was that it was more lower D1 / D3, which is perfect for her. Maybe Duke is the same with multiple teams? [/quote]
