A Letter from the VP Recruitment Chair

TO MY FELLOW TROJANS,

Welcome to the Trojan family! The next few years of your life will be filled with amazing experiences. To make the most of your college experience, I strongly encourage you to explore USC’s greek community. As one of the country’s most diverse universities, USC offers a thriving greek system for students of all majors, backgrounds, and interests.

Specifically, our fraternities provide means for you to excel socially and academically as well as opportunities for leadership positions. The average all-greek men’s GPA is consistently higher than the all-university men’s GPA. We take great pride in this achievement, as it is unique to only a few universities across the nation. Additionally, joining a fraternity provides an excellent academic support network including tutoring, academic advisors, and study hours.

One of the reasons I came to USC was the camaraderie promised in the Trojan Family. As a transfer student from another top-tier university, I have found that USC excels in every way possible, especially its greek community which I believe is the ultimate Trojan Family. Greek life provides opportunities for networking with alumni, giving back to the community through philanthropic events, competitive intramural sports, and interactive social functions. Getting involved in the greek community enriches your college experience and also prepares you for your post-college years.

Looking back at my three years at USC, I cannot imagine my college experience without the friends and brothers I have met by “Going Greek.” No matter what you may be looking to gain during your college experience, there is a fraternity that will fit your needs. Fraternity rush holds no obligations, and rush events are designed to be an informal and fun way to meet new people. Events include activities such as comedy shows, sports games, paintballing, and many others. I look forward to seeing you at rush events and I hope that you will have the same extraordinary undergraduate experience throughout your time at the University of Southern California.

Sincerely,

John Martello
