<p>I'm planning on transferring to USC (University of Southern California) in the future and I would really like to join a Sorority, but the only thing that has me worried about getting a bid is that I'm a bisexual girl. I've tried searching for information on each Sorority on how they feel about LGBT students, but I can't find anything. Can anybody tell me what Soro/Frats are safe or their views? Should I even bother rushing? I ask about the Frats because my partner is a Transgendered male who's also very interested in the Frat life at USC. </p>
<p>Tough question! Lol but I’ll try to be as honest as possible (I can only speak for sororities). Although I don’t know for sure, I’d say that greeks tend to be more conservative (collectively) than USC in general. You’d probably run into some close-minded girls (not to say that they’d be rude to your face), so you might have a harder time if you’re really up front about being bisexual. But I also think you’d find a lot of girls who are understanding/accepting of different lifestyles.</p>
<p>I definitely wouldn’t rule out rushing in general. But, if you wouldn’t mind doing this, I’d probably keep this out of conversation, especially since you have a boyfriend. It’s just a really heavy topic to drop on someone in the midst of a stressful time such as rush. Also, if you end up pledging, once you make good friends they will probably be more understanding when you tell them. When someone pledges, they won’t be “bffs” with every girl, whether striaght bi or gay, so just try to find somewhere you’re comfortable as a person.</p>
<p>That does help a lot! I don’t really look the stereotypical part either (whatever the stereotype look is for bisexuals), I’m super girly. I was just really worried about getting kicked out of a Sorority once they found out. It’s not something I would shout out to everyone in the world, it’s something personal. Nor is it something that I would bring up unless it came into question; especially at Rush. </p>
<p>If you go through the whole process of rush, pledging and you cross over with no preconception of your sexuality, I would think they would be accepting if you decided to come out.</p>
