[quote=Anonymous]I am a recent member at Congressional, and don't really agree. Yes, you need to know enough members to put as references on your application (and I know that isn't always easy; we found a couple of people who asked some of their friends), so in that sense you need to know people. But once you have your application in, you sit on the waiting list until there are openings (first in/first out system generally). The bylaws say only XX members are allowed, so you basically have to wait for members to leave/die (sorry, morbid, I know). I think that there are about 30 or so openings each year (I think legacies have preference, but am not really sure how that works). I know a number of CEO of major corporations in the area that had to wait as long as I did (I know, b/c they are clients). That said, I am sure that if someone knows one of the Board members, they may jump higher on the waiting list. The club denies this happens, but you know how the old boy network works . . . But no different than other circumstances. Just making the point that the it is not a systematic issue. Maybe others will disagree . . . . And I can hear the anti-club people out there gagging . . . . [/quote]
