USC (Southern Cal) Recruitment 2019! (Correct forum)
(True Newbie here, I posted this in the wrong forum last night)
Hello all! My daughter is going to be going through rush at USC (Southern Cal) starting this weekend! USC just started deferred rush this school year (although they did have a formal rush in the fall as a transition, but new freshman were not eligible). I have to say I started out a Clueless Newbie Greek Mom but after reading every stickied thread here, I am now a somewhat less Clueless Newbie Greek Mom. We have no connections to Greek Life and she doesn't really know anybody, so she is totally going into this open-minded and wanting to meet the girls at every house. She is pretty chill about it in the sense that she just wants to find a place where she fits. I am probably more nervous than she is because I've read all these threads about how stressful and challenging the whole process is. Is there anybody here who has experience with USC rush? Anything I should know or pass on to her? Anybody else here with a daughter at USC? |
Does she have any recommendations?

My daughter really enjoyed her first day of recruitment yesterday. They visit 10 sororities. Today they have a max of 8. She is going to 7 today, including ones she really really likes. Next cut is down to 5 next Friday and pref is Saturday where they cut to 2. Bid day is Sunday. I’m just glad she is enjoying the process and hopefully she finds her home!

Thank you for the update! Good luck!

My daughters had no recs and had a perfect rush. We had a family tragedy the summer before they went to college and I thought of it at the last minute, so I sent info to my group. They ended up in the group of their dreams. This was ten years ago and obviously things have changed.
Best of luck and wishes to your daughter. if a group wants your daughter, it will get a rec... |
Good luck to your daughter. Hoping that your daughter finds her people.

USC (w) can be a VERY competitive recruitment for those Chapters all the PNM's want to join. If your daughter keeps an open mind she will find her home. Hopefully, she stayed off the row in the fall and she is a fresh face when she walks in the door. Recommendations are recommended at USC and any other recruitment for that matter. Good luck to your daughter.

Today was bid day so I thought I’d post an update! The whole process was a lot more stressful than expected. Along the way she was dropped by some that surprised her (and others that didn’t surprise her), but she understood it was numbers. In the end she did have 1 she really liked but did not suicide bid even though the second one was a very distant second. Thankfully she got a bid today to the house she loved the last 2-3 rounds and she is very happy. She knew a lot of people who dropped out when they were getting heavily cut so she is thrilled to have found her home! Just want to thank this board for educating me on the whole process so I could support her along the way!

Congratulations!! Can you tell us what sorority your daughter joined?
