Best Business Clubs?

<p>What are the best business clubs to join for intended Haas? Are there any advantages to joining a fraternity over a club?</p>

<p>I don’t think there’s any advantages to joining anything over anything. Just do what you like, be it business club or not. Join a b-club/frat if you want but just don’t feel obligated to.</p>

<p>I know, but it’s also something I’m interested in. I’ll definitely check out the other organizations Cal has to offer, of course.</p>

<p>There’s so many buz/econ clubs its ridiculous. You have like 4 business/professional fraternities, then you have liek 20 business clubs. The biggest business clubs are BC (Berkeley Consulting), which is very selective, and The Berkeley Investment Banking club. They’re more like organizations than clubs though, and berkeley investment banking is a club that has lectures like a class I believe.</p>

<p>The 3 business frats (DSP, AKPsi and BAP), Berkeley Consulting, and The Berkeley Group.</p>

<p>Other than that, there are some specialized groups (marketing, real estate, etc) but I’m not sure how good those are.</p>

<p>I’m starting a business club if you want to join. It’ll be called Berkeley Google-Goldman-McKinsey Association (BGGMA).</p>

<p>Isn’t the Latino Business Student Association considered to be a good club?</p>

<p>Can you join these clubs even if you are not in pre-Haas?</p>

<p>Believe most are open to all majors (correct me if I’m wrong)</p>

<p>I’m currently most interested in the frats at the moment, so what’s the difference between them? Also, how difficult is it to rush?</p>

<p>How about the other business frats?</p>

<p>There are three business frats: DSP, AKPsi, and BAP. </p>

<p>If you were to ask some people, most would say that DSP is the most “elite” business frat. They would be “elite” in the sense that they the most powerful connects (most i-bankers recruited within any group in the university) and nearly every single one of their members are in Haas. Actually their policy is you either have to be Haas-intended or already in Haas to join.</p>

<p>But a business frat is just a group of people chilling with each other in the end. The only real difference is who you want to chill with. It’s a bit tool-ish to join for sole reasons of professional advancement.</p>

<p>Do business frats also serve as social frats (i.e. have parties and events similar to social frats)? What about engineering frats?</p>

<p>Then in general, how do the experiences differ from a regular business club and from a business frat?</p>

<p>What’s the process of joining Berkeley Consulting?</p>

<p>No. Business/engineering fraternities are just business clubs with Greek letters. They don’t have parties, pledges, sorority relations or any of the other benefits that social fraternities have. Simply put, they are academically oriented only.</p>
