Toxic Culture of USC Song Girls Revealed in Investigation
Nearly a dozen women opened up on their experiences as a USC Song Girl, the school’s dance squad, and say they were badgered about their weight and eating habits, had to wear a full face of make-up at all times and were shamed for their sex lives.
The 10 women spoke up in a recent Los Angeles Times investigation into the culture of the USC Song Girls. Contracts, text messages and emails were provided to support the womens’ claims.
The Song Girls have been a prominent part of USC since 1967 when the student body voted overwhelmingly to allow women to join the spirit squad, which had been all male. Besides dancing at Trojans football games, they represent the school at fundraisers and other events worldwide.
