H0neymoon · #1 03-14-2004, 01:42 PM

Hi guys!

I was just accepted at USC so will be heading over to the States in August, (I'm from London), and I am really interested in joining a sorority! Can anyone tell me a bit about the different sororities at USC??? I'd love to hear about everything.... the good, the bad, the places you go, the things you get up to, what you believe in, anything and everything about your sorority. E-mail me if you like- that'd be great!

Also, if anyone has any links to USC sorority pages that would be fab!

Thanks in advance,

Take care!

Jennifer,
Congrats on your admittance. Ironically I was just checking out the USC website earlier today. I was hoping to find a webpage or at least contact information for my sororities chapter there. NO SUCH LUCK!!!!!

The school has one paragraph, one stupid paragraph, about greek life. But there are 22 sororities on campus. I couldn't tell you the sororities there other than my own.

You might be able to give someone an email or a phone call and gather more information.

the school website is www.usc.edu.

GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!!!!!

Here is what I found on the sorority webpages. Are you entering as a freshman? If so, there is a chance you may end up meeting with my daughter. She is still deciding which school to accept. Her dad is a die hard USC fan so that may be a big influence over Univeristy of Pittsburgh or Penn State.

I guess you are talking about University of Southern California and not the University of South Carolina...

Here is what I dug up for you:

Greek Life @ USC

The following Sororities are at USC:

Alpha Chi Omega

Alpha Delta Pi

Alpha Gamma Gamma (never heard of this one...maybe it's local?)

Alpha Phi

Delta Delta Delta

Delta Gamma

Gamma Phi Beta

Kappa Alpha Theta

Kappa Kappa Gamma

Pi Beta Phi

Hope that helps some.

While it does get out dated, try greekpages.com!

Some Schools get insiped about Greeks so is hard to find anything that you can navagate with!

If you go to the proper link, and you may hve to muddle through it to find any links!

Major Link is Current Students and work from there!

Good Luck and let us all know! You will have a TON of Pals on here!

Thanks, Diamond Delta, for including ALL the USC sororities (not just those from Panhellenic).

The USC chapter of my sorority just won Chapter of the Year at our National Convention this weekend!

Hey, I just posted what I found on the USC Greek Life Website that I could find...sorry for leaving people out.

GPhiBLtColonel · #9 03-15-2004, 04:21 AM

I am a USC alumna. I pledged GFB way way way way back in 1975! (A very long time ago!) But rush is still very competitive and now that I live in the south and have seen a few rushes down here, I can honestly say there are many similarities! Chloe173 is a current ADPi at USC and has posted her personal observations about rush there...you could put her name in the GC search engine and see her comments. I also suggest you start trying to get recommendations now if you can.

Edited to add: I saw on some other posts you made that you were going to NYU and another seemed to indicate you were going to UW Madison or UIndiana Bloomington. Did not see a mention of USC....I am confused!

H0neymoon · #10 03-15-2004, 04:30 PM

Well, what happened was, I was accepted at Wisconsin and Indiana, and didn't expect to get into USC. When I got into NYU it was for GSP and I would have had to spend my freshman year in Florence, Italy (since I'm from London, and all international GSP acceptees go to Florence).

Although this was an exciting prospect, I was more interested in the US college experience, and didn't want to miss out on freshman activities, greek life, etc, so chose USC, which also has a fantastic journalism program. I'm so excited about coming to LA, and about the prospect of joining a sorority. I hope that everyone in Los Angeles will welcome a London girl into their world! I hope I can bring something a little different! haha.

You say I should start getting recommendations... could you elaborate on this at all? Who writes recommendation for this type of thing?

Thanks for the info guys, it's been really helpful, and very much appreciated!! Oh, quick question that is sort of random, but it's something I was thinking about today.... I'll be coming to LA in August and obviously staying until xmas break. What's the weather like during those 4 or so months? I have absolutely no idea what sort of clothes to buy/pack, since here in England the weather is TERRIBLE in autumn! Clue me up, girls, I wanna go shopping! haha

Take care,

Jen

Congrats on your acceptance to USC Jen!

Winter, in LA??? he he he.

I'm from Northern California, so the weather is much nicer in LA than it is here, but you can probably stick to spring or early fall clothes for LA's "winter". You'll want to bring a jacket, but you won't need a parka unless you want to go ski. Go look at weather.com for forcasts, it'll tell you how hot it is there.

ll,
Michelle

H0neymoon · #12 03-15-2004, 05:24 PM

Thanks for the advice Michelle!

Rudey · #13 03-15-2004, 05:26 PM

Are you cute? We can tell you what the hotter sororities are. But you should go where you feel like you fit in and not where you think you should fit in. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? It's very important.

Rudy, don't lead her astray.

I'd read some of the other rush forums on here, and go into the thing with your mind open. Talk to Chole too! You will know which groups you like and feel at home at when you rush.

I'd also look at the websites that were listed plus the USC Panhellenic information, and the national websites of the sorority to get an idea of what sororities do.
