USC greeka By CASSIE YANG Features editor Sixteen fraternities will begin Rush Week Aug. 28, and three will rush independently and hold orientations Sept. 7. Rush week is a week long orientation where students may visit fraternities and speak with members and decide if they wish to pledge any of the organizations. The first two fraternities at USC were established in 1852, and since then 17 additional chapters have been formed. Carolina's greek system offers each student a chance to develop his potential in all areas, said Luke Byars, Fraternity Council President. Fraternity members participate in many activities. Dro grams, sports events and service projects. "Going greek is probably the easiest way to enrich the scope of your college experience offering such lifelong benefits as lifelong friendship, alumni relations, athletic opportunities, civic and philanthropic outreach to the disadvantaged, academic excellence, and social aspects," said Rich Veon, Fraternity Council Second Vice President/NIC Concerns. "Just remember every fraternity at USC is different; each one with something unique to offer its members. Each fraternity has its own character and personality," said Byars. Members of USC's greek culture have definate opinions about the fraternity life at Carolina. The "various advantages offered by fraternal organizations also give rise to certain skills that can be found only in a fraternity man ? a knowledge of governmental/committee procedures; the attainment of leadership qualities early in life; the ability to become friends with anyone, anyone in the world, and the most important, the perfection of the art of communication, something sincerely lacking in today's world," said Veon in a letter to 1988 rushees. Sororities Sororities have been a part of USC campus life for the past sixty years. Members of USC's 13 national chapters participate in many activities, programs and service projects.

Members range from 4.0 grade points students to top campus leaders, and they participate in things from sponsoring philanthropy projects and raising money for community charities to sponsoring activities for the entire Carolina student body. "The sorority system has even more to offer ? friendships lasting a lifetime, the opportunity to achieve scholastic excellence and the development of leadership skills," Macon said in a letter addressing 1988 rushees. Nine of the 13 sororities participate in Rush Week, August 21 to 29. Four rush independently throughout the year and will have an orientation Sept. 7. GPR requirements for interested freshmen are between 2.0 and 3.0, depending on the sorority. Upperclassmen and transfer students need between a 2.0 and 2.5 minimum. Sorority activities include philanthropies where each chapter volunteer work or contribute monetary donations to national and community charities. E BACK!
