If you've read this far, probably you.

We recruit across all majors and all years. There is no archetype. The brothers we admit share a high standard for themselves and a low tolerance for indifference.

We don't ask for prior finance experience. We don't ask you to "look the part." We ask that you show up, do the reading, and tell the truth in your interviews.

If you have questions — including the ones you'd rather not ask publicly — schedule a coffee chat. Every brother on the directory takes them.
