PUNCH
Goal: sell yourself
Mode of communication: cryptic notes under the door
Who: sophomores and underachieving juniors
Who wants a gin and tonic?
Hastily judged by: current final club members
Early elimination: no one knows who you are
Killer instinct: that hot babe
Look forward to: 100 hours of blackouts per week
You pay them...
Upshot: perpetuation of patriarchal social hierarchy
RECRUITMENT
Goal: sell your soul
Mode of communication: online database for all to see
Who: seniors and overachieving juniors
Who wants a chicken skewer?
Hastily judged by: former final club member
Early elimination: you don’t know how to upload a document
Killer instinct: that multibillion-dollar deal
Look forward to: 100 hours of spreadsheets per week
They pay you!
Upshot: expense account. ’Nuff said.
BOTH
Mandatory: coat and tie, firm handshake, eye contact.
Kind of like sex: the longer you last, the better you are. At life, that is.
You know you’re out when you hear of other people getting in. Ouch.
