Need more specifics about eating club stereotypes

I searched the internet high and low for days and all I could locate were old articles (some more than 10 years old!) or some vague poems some people wrote, but no VERY RECENT (like 2010 - 2011) information on just what type of student each of the eating clubs attracts. Some posters on here say to “just ask” for more information, but so far, either my requests have gone unanswered (violins anyone?) or people give very generalistic replies. Now, I GET that maybe all clubs - bickers and sign-ins alike, perhaps accept all types, and don’t discriminate (or at least not in any obvious way), but clearly some students are more attracted to one club then another. Can someone PLEASE point me to a site or video that is current, and specific, (the more detailed, the better) to give a prospective student or freshman a better idea? I hear terms float around like “boaters and floaters”, “athletes” and “druggies”, but are these Seriously the main types that join certain clubs? What if a student (male) was a math/physics type - very brilliant, but NOT stereotypically quirky or geeky, (and Caucasion - not Asian), semi-athletic - but not on a college team - more “intramurally athletic” meaning they’d be active in Intramural sports like tennis, soccer, ping-pong, etc. but not a top athlete, NOT at all into drugs, drinking alcohol, or smoking (in fact fairly “anti” all those things), who likes to dance at a party, but not drink, and is on the more quiet side, though friendly, not shy - (you know the person who is a better listener than talker - so in another words someone who would make an ideal friend once you got to know them, but NOT the life of a party) – based on this description, is there ANY club that might be suitable for them? And would their religion matter? If Christian, what club is best? If Jewish, what club is best? Thanks!!
