USC's Position on Hazing
|
|
As stated in SCampus, "USC prohibits any students from engaging in hazing, defined as any activity that causes or is likely to cause bodily danger, physical harm, or personal degradation or disgrace resulting in physical or mental harm to any fellow student."
As of January 2007, in accordance with Matt's Law, hazing is now prosecuted as a felony in California.
The Greek community at USC also condemns hazing, as it in now way achieves the goals of sorority or fraternity membership such as service, scholarship, leadership, or friendship.

Recruitment Schedule!
USC Sorority Recruitment is made up of 5 distinct rounds- here's what they are and what to wear:
Unity Days I and II

On Unity Days, you will visit every sorority and have a chance to talk with a few women from each chapter. During this round you and your recruitment group will be guided from chapter to chapter by your recruitment counselors. These are the most casual days. Cute casual shorts, skirts, or pants with blouses are appropriate, as are casual dresses. Wear sandals, you’ll be doing a lot of walking, be comfortable!!!

Spirit Day

|
Preference Day
