<p>^Those aren’t finance clubs. Those are business fraternities.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of the business clubs that I know about. There’s probably more but these are the main ones.</p>
<p>This is how I would rank them. 1 = very selective, very good reputation. 2 = selective, good reputation. 3 = not that hard to get into if you try. This is just my opinion, I could be wrong on some of them so don’t get mad at me</p>
<p>Business fraternities:
Delta Sigma Pi (1)
Alpha Kappa Psi (1)
Beta Alpha Psi (2)</p>
<p>Consulting Clubs:
The Berkeley Group (1)
Berkeley Consulting (1)
Net Impact (2)</p>
<p>General Business Clubs:
ABA - Asian Business Association (3)
PBL - Phi Beta Lambda (3)
IABC - International Association of Business Communicators (2)
FSBC - Freshman Sophomore Business Club (3)</p>
<p>More Focused Clubs:
Ascend (2)
UMA - Undergraduate Marketing Association (3)
UFA | UMCG - Undergraduate Finance Association | Undergraduate Management Consulting Group (3)
BIG - Berkeley Investment Group (3)
UEA - Undergraduate Economics Association (3)</p>
<p>So there are not many finance related clubs on campus ha. What do you think about BIG, is this club worth joining?</p>
<p>What are you looking for in a club?</p>
<p>Probably networking and more finance related activities which can be put on my resume later.</p>
<p>Most of the large, general business clubs have finance committees. The way most of them work is that they have committees so you can choose what you’re interested in: marketing, finance, technology, etc</p>
<p>I know that ABA, FSBC, and IABC all have finance committees, some others might have it too, you should check their websites. </p>
<p>Ascend is a finance/accounting club and I’ve heard some pretty good things about them, I probably would’ve joined my first semester if I had known. They do occasionally hold investment banking events if you’re into that (which a lot of people are).</p>
<p>I don’t know too much about BIG, I have one friend in it though. From my understanding, they teach you about stocks and how to invest, and then if you get enough experience, you pool your money together and as a group vote which stocks to invest periodically. But if you’re just a newbie then you don’t get a vote haha. Just depends on if it’s the kind of stuff you’re interested in, personally I don’t follow stocks that much.</p>
<p>Also there are probably more clubs that I’m missing or don’t know of, check this website to search for any: [Student</a> Affairs](<a href=“http://students.berkeley.edu/osl/studentgroups/public/index.asp]Student”>http://students.berkeley.edu/osl/studentgroups/public/index.asp)</p>
