<p>To less callously answer your question, his experience is extremely specific and unlikely. There’s ~16,000 undergrads. Even if you don’t fit in with 1,000 people, you have 15,000 left.</p>
<p>How big of a Greek presence does USC have?
I think the number is still ~25% of undergrads. It’s quite present and you’ll see it, but if you wanted you could avoid it pretty well. Yes, you can have a great social life without it. However, if you want to party every weekend it is the best avenue to do that. If you want to party every weekend but not join a frat (or sorority) then you just have to work a little harder and set things up yourself.</p>
<p>And how materialistic is it?
Specifically Greek life, it ranges by house. Some are not any more so than average but I’ve heard one or two might judge you for the price range of your clothes or car or watch or w/e. If you explore it, you’ll see that the most important thing is finding a good fit. I’d rather be in an average house and have a ton of fun than be in a top house but not enjoy myself because I don’t fit in.</p>
