I just had a conversation with a middle schooler about this: We are trying to cater to college students only. The clan came to life on reddit because of a thread on how to stay focused on class in college while playing destiny. College students face unique challenges compared to high school and middle school so that is to whom we are reaching out. It's nothing against students of lower levels we simply are carrying out a mission and there are only so many clan spots. Plus our schedule may not give you fireteam members consistently. We are growing rapidly though so maybe sometime in the distant future we will have multiple groups going... In the meantime there may be another group that's a better fit for you. For the middle schooler there's Kids of Destiny; perhaps you can find on for high schoolers? We will make alliances with any other scholarly destiny clan regardless of level; we did so for kids of destiny. That's a long winded way of saying freshmen in college are the youngest we are recruiting at the moment. I'm sorry. :/
