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.

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.

Are you from New Orleans? Nearly every single thing here (most obviously Krewe memberships) is based off of the old “who you know” system.

Yes, I am already member of another Krewe.

I'd visit all of them, play them all a few times before jumping in, and see which one best fits your needs.

Did it in Nola and ended up happy with my decision.

Side note; just remember the club is only as good as the members. People tend to overlook this when joining a club.

Are you at one of the two private clubs in NOLA? Because that is a drawn out process and not as simple as playing and deciding which course you like best.

OP, with a young family proximity will be one of the most important parts of your decisions but also the pool and activities for your wife and child. That will make the club experience better for you and the whole family. Something for everybody.

I could see there being some club inconsistencies due to their popularity and needing to get them out with how popular they were when they first came out; they were steadily back ordered on the heads. But, not the idea that the same club struck the same way gets different distances, that just doesn’t make sense.

Also, a certain club fitter in Gretna loves them if we are talking about fitters

What happened to that place? Was it just too far outside of NOLA to remain private?

I like your swag. First post and your asking about joining CC's.

Is there any other way to come out of the gate but strong?

I heard that NOCC was $50K, but wasn't sure if that was accurate. I thought it was a little high. I was thinking it would be $30-35K. But, that was just a guess.
