So I am graduating high school in 2 years, and I have high hopes on moving out west and possibly going to USC. I have a couple questions though regarding greek life at USC. My academics are great at school, and I am on the varsity soccer team, but I am a bit of the “partying type” as well. If you could help answer my questions that would be great, and if you aren’t the “partying” type or don’t like greek life, I respect whatever opinions you may have, but I’d appreciate it if you’d leave it off my post. If you are in a sorority or maybe in a fraternity, your input would be great even if you don’t go to USC.


I am of a mixed race, my mom is hispanic, and my dad is caribbean and white. Does race really come into play in terms of being in a sorority? In other words, do they tend to be very prejudice? I know there are the NPHC sororities, but does that mean that only african-amercians can be in those and not any other one?
What is rush truly week like?
How long can you be in a sorority? Like, is it by semester or by the school year?
Do you need recommendations, and if so, from who?
What are frat parties truly like?
If you are a part of greek life, to you, what is the greatest thing about being in a fraternity/sorority?
Is being in a sorority very time consuming? Will it be easy for me to be friends with other people outside of greek life, and can i easily participate in other “non-greek” activities?
Are girls from different sororities friends with each other, or is it very cliquey?


Even if you can only answer one of these questions, your input is very much appreciated
