When I was there--its different now-- U of Southern Cal had about 14 sororities and about 17 fraternities, and, if I remember correctly, 2 NPHC sororities and at least 1 NHPC fraternity.
NPC Sororities were:
Chi Omega
Delta Gamma
Kappa Alpha Theta
Pi Beta Phi
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Delta Delta Delta
Gamma Phi Beta
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Phi
Alpha Delta Pi
Sigma Kappa
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Episilon Phi
Alpha Gamma Delta
--AEPhi, Chi O, Sigma Kappa, AOPi and AGD are no longer there.
AGD and AOPi left in the late 80's, the rest in the mid 90's, for a variety of reasons, usually quota problems, a few academic problems, greek system at SC was very competitive--missing quota for a couple years in a row could be a death sentence for a sorority, not keeping house GPA average at 3.0 or higher put a lot of pressure on members.
For example, Sigma Kappa came on in the fall of 88 and I'm not sure when they left, but it wasn't too much more than 5 or 6 years later. My house, Chi O, had been there since 1940 and when I graduated in 91, we were at quota --which was usually about 120 --but 5 years later--the chapter was struggling with 45 members and closed.
IFC Fraternities included:
Sigma Chi, ATO, LXA, Kappa Sigma, Sig Ep, Sigma Pi, TKE, Delta Tau Delta, Beta, SAM, Phi Delta Theta, KA, Delta Chi, Theta Xi, Chi Phi, FIJI, Pi Psi, Sigma Nu...that's all I remember.
