Those of you who joined Greek life in college, did you find it helpful with your career? I guess I'm mostly asking if joining a sorority is good for long term networking?

There’s a difference between being in a sorority/fraternity, just to put on your resume and being an active participant… if you attend local alumni events, meet and greets, luncheons, and took a leadership role within your chapter, or leadership role at the national level post graduation, it can absolutely be of value…

Otherwise you’re paying dues just to pay dues…

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
