My older daughter had zero interest in Greek life at USC and maintained a long-distance relationship all her time at USC. She is now a senior. But realistically, it seemed to keep her way too anti-social. She made only a handful of friends while there. My younger daughter, a freshman, also had zero interest in Greek life until she met a handful of girls who all belong to the same sorority, and they seemed to match her personality well. She sort of deems it as the anti-sorority sorority as it is not clique-ish or petty by any means. She at least found them to be refreshing and not at all what she was expecting. They even offered her a bid into the sorority without rushing. She recently joined and will even start living in that sorority house starting next term in the fall. What we have found is that Greek life can be rather expensive unless you also live within the house. At least that is the case with this specific sorority. In their case, living within the house and even paying the sorority fees is less overall combined than just the traditional costs of room/board within USC Housing. As any girl can go to any fraternity party, Greek life is not essential for girls at USC by any means. You can clearly meet guys without being in a sorority if you choose to… even without frat parties. But Greek life does afford you the opportunity to make many new friends and have a # of events and social functions to participate in…
