Nobody has ever accused the Greek system at USC of being too spartan. With most fraternities and sororities operating in a sphere of relative comfort, maintained only in part by organizational fees that can (but don’t always) exceed $1,000 per year, some students tend to believe that Greek Life is a haven for the wealthy and mostly barred to everyone else.
Of course, joining Greek Life is generally one of the more expensive decisions that anyone can make on campus, but the Greek system itself isn’t nearly as costly as many students believe it to be.
Housing rates for the Greek system tend to fall in the middle to upper $2,000s per semester, according to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, with fraternity housing being in general more expensive than the feminine counterpart.
