1. The Sandstorm.
Whether it’s at Willy B on game day, or at a bar in Five Points, every Gamecock knows what to do when Sandstorm comes on. There’s really nothing like chanting USC with 80,000 of your closest friends every time we score a touchdown.
2. Talking about our campus.
Ask any student on campus why they chose USC and chances are they’ll mention how our beautiful campus is. From the Horseshoe to the view of the stadium from Sumter Street, USC is a gorgeous place to go to school and live.
3. ‘Cocks puns.
I think my mom almost had a heart attack when she saw a T-shirt in the bookstore that said “party like a cock star,” but I thought it was great. You’ll probably see at least one student wearing a shirt that says COCKS, because USC is the only place where that’s not only socially acceptable --it's also encouraged.
4. Hating on Clemson.
Being from Pennsylvania, I had never actually heard of Clemson before I came to USC. But now the thought of wearing orange or purple literally makes my skin crawl. Everyone in Columbia knows where the real Death Valley is, where Dabo buys his sweatshirts, and who owns South Carolina.
