[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a [b]highly recruited athlete[/b] freshman at an Ivy, and he got many invites to join exclusive clubs.  One of his teammates' older brothers is the head of one of those clubs.  DS was told that he could be a member of the club by:  a) coming from a wealthy family or b) an athlete.  He fit the latter.[/quote]

I assume the level of recruitment was irrelevant, but rather there are clubs controlled by teams/frats/etc.  For example, I bet the recruit who was offered the last spot on the team gets the same benefits.[/quote]

I am the PP.  My DS is the best athlete on the team so he was offered a spot in the exclusive club.  He also receives extra benefits that the worst athlete doesn't get in that club, according to my DS.[/quote]

It’s more the luck of the draw of the sport and club.  None of what you say makes much sense…I mean are you referring to a Frat/eating club/final club?  Maybe that’s the miscommunication, because we are talking about career clubs.

I was referring to IB and finance clubs, where my DS was invited to join because he was an athlete recruited to play for an Ivy.  On top of that, he is the best player on the team as a freshman.  One of his teammates' older brothers is the head of the club, and DS was accepted into that exclusive club.  There was neither application nor interview for DS.  According to DS, about 70% of the members are students from very wealthy families, and about 30% are athletes.  My DS falls into the athlete category.  Regular and/or poor students do not need to apply, according to the head of the club.  That's what he told my DS.[/quote]

God - you are tiresome. How many posts do you need to write bragging that your son was the bestest of the best on the Ivy team. GMAFB
