history, they even
noted instances when
testimony by fraternity
men had resulted
in the conviction of
fraternity brothers.
While trustees
formed a commitee to
review the charges,
the barbarians found
sympathetic listeners
in their cause in the
state legislature. In

passed both houses and
became law in the

narrowly defeated in
1920, USC President
William S. Currell said
the groups were again
flourishing as sub-rosa
chapters. The
Democratic Club was
formed by antifraternitv
members to
protest the sub-rosa
chapters. Bitter antagonism
arose betwween
the groups
from 1920-1921.
In 1927 the General
Assembly agreed to lift
its ban on social
fraternities. With
restrictions lifted,
fraternities and newlyformed
sororities
began a new era in
USC history. This was
the age of the flapper
and bathtub gin and
Greek orginizations
became social leaders
rather than bastions of
privilege.
Sororities were
introduced to the
changing USC environment
in 1927 when

In February 1928 the
Beta Epsilon chapter
of ADPi became USC's
first national sorosity
on campus. Chi Omega
and Delta Zeta soon
became campus

The University in
1927 considered Greek
organizations valuble
in the orientation and
supervision of
freshman students,
keeping alive the interest
of alumni in the
institution, and
providing a common
meeting ground for
faculty, alumni and
students. The school
did, however, fear that
the groups might
deteriorate into
combinations of bridge

ciuds, gossip marts,
political meetings and
clothing exchanges.
By the end of the
Depression, fraternity
pins became the
popular counterpart of
pull-over sweaters and
many young males
searched hard to find
the necessary funds for
the initiation fees. Both

Many of these
distinctions became
only memories when
sororities gave up
rented houses in town
to move to Wade
Hampton dormitory.
Then began the era
of the 1940's when
fraternities and
sororities took new life i
in thp vmts fnlnwin0 I
World War II. After
1945 came more
parties and greater
emphasis on the Greek
system. The sorority's
parent group, the PanHellenic
Council,
served as a court of
investigation and trial
to inflict punishment
for the breach of any of
the different sorority's
various rules. Social
