USC Post Recruitment
All schools have different recruitment policies and procedures.
In your case, you're in luck!
The [IFC] fraternities at USC have begun to offer an extended bid period for potential members that may not have found the "right fit" during the formal recruitment period. During the week following format recruitment, they usually invite everyone who has not yet accepted a bid to an informal gathering with all of the chapters. This provides another chance for chapter members and rushees to meet with one another. In the past, such events took place at Ground Zero, The Lab, etc.
You mentioned that you didn't receive a bid to the "house that [you] rushed." I hope you took the time to visit and meet with as many chapters as possible over the course of the rush week. While you may not have received a bid from the one that you mentioned, there are 22 other fraternities at USC that may very well offer you a better collegiate experience.
If you want to be in a fraternity at USC, you will be. And I am confident it will be one of the best experiences of your life.
Assuming you have already registered for recruitment, just monitor your email - You should receive a followup from the VP of Rush containing all of these details.
In case you were wondering, I served on USC's IFC for 2 years during my undergrad years.
Best of luck and Fight On!
