“DOZ is the most unique fraternity on campus. No where else can you find a more diverse group of leaders, or a more exciting way to develop, network, and share ideas.”
—Elise Welch, Alpha Class |
“DOZ has by far been the best experience I’ve had at USC. I’ve learned so much about myself through it, not just because of the activities we do but because of the people I’ve met. They’re extraordinary and motivating and so very, very real. Suddenly, inspiration has become something tangible.”
—Nimisha Thakore, Gamma Class |
“I love DOZ because it really pushes you to be something more. You are placed in the midst of people who are the movers of USC that you can’t help but make a difference yourself.”
—Lorenzo Mangubat, Delta Class |
“I love DOZ because of the lessons I learned from the activities, the people and the bonds that I formed. I have gained more self-confidence and have found the leader within. I have learned how to work with people I don’t know and to form quick yet everlasting bonds. I have also learned to have faith in my ideas.”
—Katie Kittrell, Delta Class |
“In the back of my mind always knew I could do anything, but DOZ gave me the inspiration, the skills, and the resolve to not just do anything, but to pursue my greatest passions fearlessly. The amazing people I met have become more than my closest friends, they are my family. I have grown so much through self-analysis and exploration of the journeyman semester, and I know I am a more motivated leader and better person all around for joining this family. Bring it on, world. DOZ’s got this.”
—Diana Smith, Delta Class |
“DOZ allowed me to get to know people I otherwise may not have met from all different schools and specialties at USC. In doing so, DOZ has broadened my horizons considerably.”
—Andrew Steiner, Delta Class |
“DOZ has given me one of the greatest college experiences EVER.
I have discovered so much about myself and what I want to do. Learning and doing leadership is something that can’t be taught in the classrooms, and I have definitely been fully immersed in this new challenge with DOZ’s inspiration. It is the GREATEST MOTIVATION to constantly be surrounded by people who have the excessive amounts of drive and ambition.”
—Adrienne Yam, Beta Class |
“EVERYONE looks at DOZ and says, “That’s great, but I would never have the time.” The reality is, each one of our actives said the exact same thing before deciding to Rush. This is a fraternity made BY the busiest students on campus, FOR the busiest students on campus — ask any one of us, and we’ll tell you that the time it took is more than worth it.
Personally, out of everything I’ve done in college, this is the ONE thing I want to continue being involved in after I graduate. DOZ has done wonders for my professionalism, for my “Trojan network”, and for my ambition.”
—Bernadette Anat, Beta Class |
“DOZ has helped me to understand the vast roles and definitions of LEADERSHIP; a dedicated sailor is just as valuable as the individual at the helm, while both must demonstrate constant service, energy and motivation. DOZ has helped me to step into leadership roles and to understand which I play best. This has showed me that a captain learns much from his crew.”
—Cory Welsh, Beta Class |
“1. I Love DOZ because of the people/ networking and the ability to learn things you would never have imagined from your peers.
2.DOZ has made me more assertive and put me into high-stress situations that will allow me to be more prepared for any future issues that may arise anywhere.
3. DOZ > no DOZ”
—Sunit Rohant, Gamma Class |
“DOZ has been one of the best decisions at USC. From all of the social clubs that I have joined, none other has welcomed my thoughts, applauded my growth and encouraged me to strive for my best. I have opened my mind to new ways of thinking, not only as a leader, but as a friend, student, and citizen. I can recognize challenges before me not as obstacles, but as opportunities for change.
The people of DOZ are the real gems of the organization. All of them come from different corners of the campus from a variety of majors, diverse backgrounds but all of them share a passion for change through leadership. All of them share the thrill of envisioning a project come alive and having the courage to create it.”
—Tina Chhabria, Beta Class |
