When the Glee Club starts out it has very few members. One of the first members, was a girl named Rachel Berry. Rachel is your typical overachiever. She insists on being a diva and throws a fit if she is not given the lead vocal for each song. She is extremely uptight and is often described as being a hot dork. She is the victim of much criticism from her peers. Another original member of the Glee Club is a a boy named Kurt. Kurt is gay and is still struggling to feel comfortable in his skin and help his dad to be comfortable with his orientation. Another original Glee Club member is Mercedes, an extremely outspoken African American girl with an incredible voice. When the Glee Club first starts out it has very few members, but Mr. Schuster is forced to recruit more members because there is a requirement that the Glee Club has a minimum of something like 11 members. Mr. Schuster is able to recruit the quarterback of the football team and his girlfriend who is the head cheerleader. Along with them, several other football players and cheerleaders join the team. The cheerleaders are encouraged to join the team by their cheerleading coach (Sue Silvester) who sees the Glee Club as a threat and wants her Cheerios to spy on Mr. Schuster and the Glee Club.
The Glee Club's status improves slightly with the addition of the new members but it is still not seen as "cool" by the bulk of the school.
