College Prowler Take
Greeks are a minority at USC (about 27 percent of the student body), but since those involved are very vocal and visible in representing their organization, Greek life seems a lot more prominent on campus. The addition of lavish Greek housing on campus seems to have increased the number of recruits. Most students agree that Greek life constitutes a major part of the social scene, but does not dominate it. If you want Greek life to dominate your social life, it can, but it doesn’t have to. Apart from this, students who are not Greek have the opportunity to meet plenty of friends and get involved in activities that are not Greek-related. All of the Greek societies sponsor some sort of community service. They also organize formals, participate in intramural sports, and have mixers where they get together with other societies. The cost of joining a society can be pretty expensive—in terms of both money and time—but most find the experience worth it. There are also the coed Greek service fraternities and honor societies, which are less expensive to join and focus more on academics and community service rather than partying. These societies usually have inductions in the spring because qualification depends on grades from the first semester. Whether it’s a social, service, or academic society, Greek life is bustling at USC, and it’s constantly expanding and improving.

Greek life is a big part of USC, but it does not dominate. It's fine if you are in a fraternity or sorority, but you are not looked down upon if you are not in one. The frat parties are a big part of the social scene, but then again, they are not the only aspect, and there are plenty of other things going on all the time.

Greek Life is wonderful at USC. It really encourages the students to get the all-around college experience. Greeks are always ranked higher in overall GPA than the non-Greek GPA. They are active in intramurals, homecoming, almost all campus organizations, and hold a lot of the top leadership roles on campus. Greeks at USC also have fun with the many social events that they put on during the year. Whether it's formals, band parties, of philanthrophy events, Greeks definitely know how to work hard and play hard.

It hardly dominates the social scene, but Greek life is definitely noticeable and usually a positive aspect of campus. |

If you want to make Greek life dominate your social scene, then it’s your option. At USC, everyone has a fair opportunity to get involved without having to be dedicated to Greek life. |

Greek life is pretty big here at South Carolina. I am not involved in it because it is not my thing. I have friends that are in it, and they love it. I also have friends that aren’t in it, and they like not being involved. If you do it, and it is your thing, you will meet a lot of friends and have fun. If you don’t, you will still meet a lot of people by going to classes and hanging out downtown. |
