Would this Hurt my admissions?

I already commented, but I’ll just add now that I like the idea of both clubs – debate is a good, standard club, investing is somewhat more novel, but interesting and relevant. I’d suggest trying to do both – if you can. And that’s an important qualification, because constraints (such as time/schedule) might not allow you to do both.

I’d also suggest not leaving them off your application. I wouldn’t worry about it appearing superficial – just go in with honest intentions, try to have a decent plan, try to do as much as you can, and present it well. Maybe you already have an idea about other students that would be interested in these clubs, and you can see if they can help out, so you can do more.
