Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The general consensus on Greek life at USC is two sided. Greek students can hardly imagine not having rushed, pledged, and joined a house, while most non-Greek students feel impartial about fraternities and sororities. Fraternities have a better reputation among non-Greek students than do sororities, probably because fraternities throw parties on a weekly basis, while sorority houses are never open for parties. Guys aren’t allowed into girls’ rooms.

Socializing on the Row goes on at fraternities. Girls in the same house tend to stick together, and in turn, get a reputation for being snobby. The Greek system is much like a high school with its various social cliques and constant gossip, but it is also the most distinguished social network that USC has ever had. Greek students are partly misunderstood and mislabeled by non-Greek students, as are non-Greeks by Greeks. The truth is, some students partake for the right reasons, just as some students avoid joining for the wrong reasons. As far as Greek systems go, USC is one of the best around. The pledge processes at different houses range from being peaceful to violent, long to short, educational to recreational, good to bad. No matter what a student is looking for, they will find it.

Go Greek!

Greek life at USC is awesome! It has opened so many doors for me and I honestly could not imagine not going greek. There are fraternities/sororities for people with all kinds of interests, and they are a great way to establish a great group of college friends. Obviously greek life is not for everyone, but in my opinion USC's greek scene is one of the best in the country.

The only people who give the bad reviews are not in the system and so why they are commenting on it in the first place is beyond me.
