Second Thoughts on Joining a House?
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
When I came to USC, I was on the fence about joining Greek.

As a transfer student, however, I recognized I didn’t have the same opportunities those who were at USC since freshman year had; namely, the chance to mix with students who were all freshmen just like them. So I joined a house. I had two amazing years in the sorority but when my final semester at USC came around, I decided against staying.

For half a year, I heard the most legendary tales of his days as a college student at the greatest school on earth.
