this site is a travesty!
by: Ashamed Alumna
As an alumna of USC, a mother of a daughter who will be attending USC in the fall, and a proud lifelong member of Delta Gamma, I have to say that finding this site makes me feel ashamed. Several mothers mentioned it at our weekly book club last night and I have to admit that we laughed.
Still, reading the posts here, I am going to give my own opinion (one shared by several of my alumnae friends). If I am to be entirely honest, I must say: you won't be happy in a house that is beneath you. You won't be happy in a house that doesn't have women like you -- women from a similar background, with a similar pedigree. It's silly to pretend that you will be. Whether they want to admit it or not, you simply won't relate to people who are nothing like you. That was true when I was an undergrad 20 years ago, and it remains true today.
Don't settle in the name of panhellenic spirit. Go for the house that you know fits your beauty, brains, and personality.

Also, please do not take this as an attack on the lovely women in lower tier houses. I am sure they have found great success in their lives after college.
However, while there is nothing wrong with being unattractive or socially awkward, it is just a fact that if you are either of these things, you aren't ever going to fit in with a top house.
For some real honesty, though: When one is in a highly regarded house as I was, they have the opportunity to socialize with others who are also more attractive, wealthy and intelligent than the average troglodytic American college students. This is why I must insist that you don't settle or let yourself be swayed by messages claiming that the house you join doesn't matter.
I met my husband through the Greek system during our time at USC, and I have no doubt that we wouldn't have been introduced had we not both been in highly regarded houses. I owe my happiness and my lifestyle to my decision to join the house I did, and so do DOZENS of my friends.

Very hard to imagine that someone as sanctimonious, elitist and just plain creepy and unpleasant as you are would have "DOZENS" of friends. Candidly, YOU come off as a troglodyte.

You know NOTHING about my daughter. Not one single thing. She is a beautiful, wonderful, intelligent young woman who will no doubt go on to have a great future. You are clearly upset about me telling the honest truth about how me being in one of the best houses at USC has helped me go further in life. Obviously you are in a lower tier house. I'm so sorry.

Is your daughter a purebred? I hope she doesn't have any mutt in her. I hear DG doesn't like that.

She IS living her own life. This post had nothing to do with my daughter. I have not said a single thing to her about joining a specific house. But seeing as she is a beautiful, intelligent young woman coming from a highly successful, loving family, she will no doubt go on to join one of the top three houses. That's simply the way the world works, darling!

That being said, of course she is born and bred to be a sister of the same house I was. I am very fortunate to still have several sorority sisters in my close friend group, and three of them also have daughters of various ages who are current USC students and DGs, so no doubt my daughter will likely be swayed in that direction (especially when one considers that she grew up with these lovely girls and has visited them at school twice now). As mothers we only want the best for our daughters, of course!
