<p>As a first year student myself, I call BS on that 17 to 20% figure USC thrown around. It aint even close to accurate from personal experience and I dont even live in New North…That is not to say that there aren’t people outside the system though. They just seem a lot less vocal than do Greeks. Asking people to find a niche when they dislike a system is a bit of a cop out in my opinion though because there’s gonna be people of every kind at every single school. The problem is that they definitely do seem difficult to find at USC. I might be getting into controversial territory here and a bit off topic so bear with me. First, there already seems to be a sort of racial togetherness thing going on everywhere on campus. One look around EVK and the much touted USC diversity is in shambles. Asians generally hang out with Asians and whites with their generally greek white counterparts. African Americans seem to be the exception but they are very underrepresented imo. Still, there are opportunities beyond Greek life but they aren’t as easily available as you might think they might be at a large uni like USC. But yeah, that 17% figure is at least half too underestimated probably more</p>
