I assume that when you talk about USC you mean Southern California. USC is an expensive private school and you will be paying for smaller class sizes and more professor contact than at either UM or Texas. UM and Texas are two of the top public universities but when it all comes down to it they are huge educational factories that don't really care that much about its undergraduate students.
As far as going greek goes, I see nothing wrong with taking that into consideration in selecting where you want to go. If you want an active social life going greek is the way to go. UM has the least competitive rushes of the three. Both Texas and USC are more competitive, Texas is one of the most of any greek system.
You talk about entering school as a sophomore. Are you going to be a transfer student? If you will be entering as a freshman don't wait until you are a sophomore to rush because it will be much harder.
