<p>wdemaster02 - dorm life is what you make of it. everyone is new and willing to branch out and meet one another so definitely be involved instead of shying away from others during the first week of school. the first couple weeks of meeting people is crucial since those same people can be your best friends all throughout your 4 years. General Ed. classes are a pain in the ass. They are typically very hard, in my opinion, and the workload can be insane at times. i’m a business major and business classes are easier than GE classes, which is kind of sad. Friday and Saturday nights you can hang out with your friends, go to downtown LA, or just party in the dorms. whatever you choose to make of the situation.</p>
<p>newtousc - greek life at sc is pretty big imo. getting a bid is the tough part if you are wishing to join a fraternity, because if you rush a “top” house, chances are unlikely you’ll get a bid, which means you missed out on your chance of joining a frat for a semester. typically the toughest frats to get into are phi psi, lambda chi, sigma chi, sae, and aepi. they usually take guys who are good looking, athletic, social, etc. that’s not always the case, but it’s true 90% of the time. also, minorities do have a bit tougher chance getting into those top 5 houses just an fyi. right below those frats would be pikapp, tke, ato, phi delt, pike, etc. (not listed in order). but like others will say, don’t join just because of the name, join because you like the guys in the house. each fraternity has some form of hazing during the pledge process, some rougher than others. if you have any other specific questions then just ask away.</p>
