USC Columbia is best known for its proud Gamecock football games, tailgating, and in-state rivalry with the Tigers of Clemson.

Analisa

My favorite campus tradition is Bid Day for Sororities. Every year, sororities set up on the Horseshoe to welcome the new initiates. The Pi Chis reveal themselves and are welcomed by the seniors and then each Pi Chi hands their group t-shirts. The girls get to look at their t-shirt then run to the sorority they are now a member of. Each sorority then plans an activity for the day that the whole chapter participates in. Family members, USC students and faculty and other people of the community all come to the Horseshoe to watch "the running of the pigs"

Samantha

My favorite campus tradition is football tailgating. The students, as well as some families and parents and other fans, go to the fairgrounds next to the stadium and tailgate. There are hundreds of tailgates next to each other, everyone is grilling burgers and drinking beers and having a good time.
