USC’s ruthless sorority tactics exposed in hunt for A-list offspring — and the billionaire daddy’s girl who joined

Detailed summary

Sorority members, current and former, talk to the California Post

When you are an elite sorority competing for high-status members at one of California’s most exclusive universities, how far are you prepared to go to secure celebrity cache?

One former Kappa Kappa Gamma member at the University of Southern California claimed some houses sent gift baskets to Natalia Bryant, the daughter of Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, and U.S. President Barack Obama’s daughter, Sasha.

“I never got confirmation if they were true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were,” she said.

The California Post could not independently verify the claims about the gifts, either.

But the sources said it was no secret the famous are ruthlessly pursued.

“When a rushee turned out to be a well-off person or a nepo baby,” houses “would put more effort into getting them into the sorority,” the former member said.

That included deploying their most outgoing members to charm the coveted recruits, she claimed.

Rushees are prospective sorority members who go through a competitive recruitment process, visiting different houses in hopes of securing an invitation to join.

Bryant’s daughter ultimately joined Kappa Kappa Gamma, the woman said, while Kylie, the daughter of billionaire Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, famous for his star-studded all-white parties, joined Delta Gamma.
