Some say it is 5:1.  Others say 3:1.  Whatever the case may be, the fact of the matter is that in order for a non-Greek male to enter a fraternity party he must be accompanied by more than one female.  If not, a rejection at the door is guaranteed to happen.
On October 16, 2009, the ratio reached new heights as Harry Thosenhall and his eleven lady friends got the no-go at the entryway of an unnamed fraternity house.   When the bouncer declined admittance, Thosenhall was in so much disbelief …

College students have been known to support efforts geared toward saving the planet.  Whether it is driving a Prius or recycling on a daily basis, we all try to do our part.  However, two USC freshmen have taken their part to a whole new level.
Stacie Jabble and Jamie Loufa have started a bold initiative in the fight for water conservation by showering together.  Stacie is a green activist, while Jamie on the other hand believes she is saving the whales.  This idea for water conservation apparently started as an …

Starbucks. Some hate it.  Most love it.  For Julia Jacobs-Jones-Meyerson, she absolutely has to have it. As diabetics would certainly falter without their insulin, Meyerson would have a tough time staying awake in Writing 140 without her grande chocolate-caramel-double-shot-hold-the-whipped-cream latte. But that’s not the worst of it, it can only come from stand-alone Starbucks stores.
Julia has tried getting her caffeine fix from Starbucks chains that are inside other stores like the ones in airports, etc., but each attempt has been a complete failure, with her last try providing no …

It’s alright.  We can all admit that we creep a little on Facebook. Unfortunately one incoming student took the creeping to a whole new level this summer when she friended every single student in the USC class of 2013.
By attempting to gain popularity before entering the school, Tiffany Stantonia decided that it would be a bright idea to friend all of the incoming freshmen regardless of whether or not she was familiar with them.  Tiffany justifies this behavior by saying:
“We are all going to be at the same school, …

Most USC students make visits back home to catch up on sleep.  For Thomas McFarlstein, it was the complete opposite.  This sophomore became so accustomed to falling asleep to the sounds of fire trucks and ambulances racing down Figueroa Street that his visitations back home in Missouri were plagued by severe cases of insomnia.  It was not until this summer, while working on his grandfather’s wheat farm, that he discovered the potential for a siren-sounding sleep machine.
“I was listening to Chamillionaire’s ‘Ridin’ Dirty’ on my iPod and caught myself …

A lecture on modern guerilla warfare was abruptly called to an end on Tuesday afternoon when distinctly mediocre rapper Kanye West decided to interrupt the class. West, known for his use of auto-tune, sprinted on to the stage in a shiny silver jacket and pink skinny jeans midway through the class. The musician stole the limelight when he tackled distinguished USC faculty member professor Arroyo.
After stumbling to his feet, West began a 10 minute rant about himself, claiming the creation of rap music when he said, bluntly, “I created …

A new fad is sweeping through the USC female community by storm.  More and more ladies have been venturing out to the Row, holding their high heels in their hands and walking without any sort of foot protection.  This hit sensation originated as merely an attempt at saving hopelessly tired feet from morning-after foot pains.  However, it has now grown into an all out fashion necessity for young women.
Stacy Cobbers, a local sophomore and frequent visitor of the row said, “I can’t believe I ever wore my stilettos in …
