Welcome
Prespective Greeks
Congratulations on your decision to attend the University of Southern
California. We welcome and wish you the best during your undergraduate
years. It will be during this time where you will learn many new
and exciting experiences, but perhaps none so unforgettable, well-rounded,
and complete as that of being a member of a Greek organization.
USC students have the opportunity to join organizations whose founding
values are based on good scholarship, community service, campus
involvement and an active social life.
Most Students come to USC with Many Unanswered Questions:
Will I make any friends?
Will I succeed academically?
Will I become just a number?
Do I have enough time to become more involved?
Will I find people who share the same interests as me?
These concerns are very common. The Greek system is geared toward
helping you find your place at this prestigious university, offer
support both academically and socially, encourage community involvement,
assist you in developing your interpersonal skills, increase your
awareness in social issues, and give you a chance to form relationships
that will last a lifetime.
This site will hopefully answer all of your questions concerning
Greek Life and the Multicultural Greek Council. If you have any
further questions, please feel free to contact our members here
or use the resources the next column over. Good luck as you start
your year off and we hope that you make the decision that is best
for you.
Contact our Board members to recieve up to date info on council and chapter events.
