[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, MOST clubs are open to anyone. SOME have a tryout or application.

[b]Clearly, for a club sport, you have to show some talent or aptitude[/b]. Same for anything that requires performances or competitions.

Greek life doesn't even count because we all know practices differ from place to place. At some schools, you're guaranteed a spot IF you fully participate and fill out all the ranking spots.[/quote]

But what if it's your first time trying the sport? [/quote]
That tends to be what intramural sports are for. "Club" sports are still often relatively competitive, whereas intramurals are more just for fun / trying-it-out / "make a team with your freshman hall and give it a dumb name" level. Sometimes a club team (see lots of ultimate teams) will have two tiers to it, with the "A" squad being what most people think of as a "club"-tier (go to nationals if you do well) level, and a "B" squad being more casual / beer-league.[/quote]
