Try joining Thoth or Tucks
D’Etat could be fun but it sounds like you don’t have an in.
This. I have friends in Thoth, Tucks, and Carollton and all seem to have a blast.
KDT is not as exclusive as some of the old line, blueblood Krewes (e.g. Proteus, Hermes, Rex) but getting in isn't easy without some VERY close connections. Even with very close connections, you're looking at several years to get in and as others have mentioned, there are more members than floats.
Regarding your question about Hermes; not to be curt, but if you're asking about membership (especially on a public forum) then you almost certainly don't have the connections to be a member.

Hermes is not the same as Proteus, Rex, etc. and I don't mean that as disrespect to Hermes. It's Comus/momus/proteus/rex and then everything else as far as "lineage" goes.

As I said, I am already in a Krewe but was asking about KDT. I could ask the people I know in it as I know them well, just wasn't sure if it was like Proteus, Rex, Comus, etc and I shouldn't bring it up (and maybe easier to inquire here anonymously whether that was bad form or not). I know a few guys working there way up through to Proteus/Chaos through the non-parading krewes and old line clubs, but generally they don't talk about it and I know if I were to ask about it that would be rude.
I didn't ask about Hermes, I mentioned it and mentioned I wasn't sure if I knew anyone in it as in they aren't going around talking about it.

KDT...there are more members than floats
This is not a problem in Thoth. Their goal is to have more floats and riders than anyone. If you join, you are expected to ride, they'll find a spot for you on a float. Your membership application has the bead order form on the opposite side
One year, we had so many beads on the float the tractor didn't have enough torque to start moving. We had to jump off and push it then hop back on when there was momentum.
