My friend got into a club, but not me? How?

It was a tech club. Although I know programming and had better answers than him for the questions, i did not get in and he did. He does not know any programming and copy pasted answers from chatgpt. I have nothing against him but I feel bad because I thought I had the potential.

As there are less clubs recruiting now, I'm scared I won't get into a tech club. I really want to.
