New poster: you’re a jerk. Some clubs have a real impact on the future. An EMT club gets you certified, credit hours and clinical hours for med school apps. A law related fraternity gets you guest speakers for connections and info, jobs placement bumps, and special study materials and tutoring for the LSAT. [/quote]

You don’t need a club to get certified as an EMT (my child’s school offers a class open to anyone) or for LSAT  tutoring.[/quote]
You ignored everything else: guest speakers, credit, etc. no one said these are the only opportunities, but some of them offer a package of very appealing ones.

Guest speakers, sounds boring.  [b]I got into a T5 law school just fine without participating in any legal fraternity.  I mean, it’s fine as a social club, but it doesn’t actually confer any professional benefit.[/b][/quote]

Successful attorney here. I didn't even know that legal fraternities existed, lol. I Googled them and apparently undergrads and law students are members? But no one at my law school would have been interested in such a thing -- at my ls people put their energy toward law review or moot court or one of the clinics or political groups like PILF or Federalist Society.
