Fraternity and Sorority Life at USC Upstate
What will be your legacy?
USC Upstate is home to 12 active Greek Letter fraternities and sororities, which are listed to the right. These organizations are more than social groups, they offer tools for personal growth and development, and a place for everyone, no matter how diverse your backgrounds or interests may be.
Joining a sorority or fraternity can be a life-changing experience, as many brothers and sisters from college remain life-long friends.
Furthermore, membership in the USC Upstate Greek community facilitates growth in the areas of scholarship, personal and professional development, and campus and community involvement. Fraternity & Sorority Life strives to develop leaders and enrich the lives of all students and the campus community.
