Dear Visitor,

Welcome! My name is Chris Yoshonis and I am a Communications student in the class of 2013. Brotherhood is one of the three pillars of the Trojan Knights, and thus is one of the most valued aspects of our organization. Day to day and week to week, our brotherhood is what holds our organization together and has allowed us to maintain a strong presence as the guardians of tradition at USC since 1921. This strong sense of brotherhood means that whether at football games, our bench on campus, or our many spirit and service events, the Knights stick together as a cohesive group ready to help one another, and others, at all times. The closeness of our brotherhood is one of the most defining characteristics of our organization and serves to enhance everything else we do as the official hosts of our great university.

Fight On!

Chris Yoshonis,

Vice President of the Trojan Knights

Our former President presides over a leadership activity before the Knights all get ready to head off to Disneyland!

The Trojan Knights hold an annual leadership retreat that features prominent alumni and at least one notable Keynote speaker. Retreats are for the organization only and are designed to strengthen not only the character of active members but the bonds between them as well.

Issues discussed always relate to the future of the organization and the vision which guides that future as seen by the active body.

After a day filled with activity and leadership challenges, the Knights rest up and transition to a day filled with brotherhood and bonding. This year, the post-activity was a visit to Disneyland!

Hello!

My name is Scott Ramies, and I'm the Activites Director of the Trojan Knights. The Knights provide the quintessential experience at USC in terms of spirit, service, and leadership. This experience is not complete however without a healthy dose of social activities. My job is to provide the Knights with a full social calendar that builds brotherhood within our organization and fosters connections to the Trojan Family. From tailgates to mixers to brotherhood retreats, our social semester is full of activities that serve a wide range of interests.

Fight On!

Scott Ramies,

Activities Director of the Trojan Knights

A Trojan Knight shares a lunch with his parents at our annual Parents Tailgate.

The Trojan Knights host tailgates throughout the fotball season to celebrate Trojan Spirit and prepare for each game. At these tailgates, the Knights can be seen having an all around good time grilling, getting into the gameday mentality, and of course body painting for the front row.

In addition to our normal tailgates, we host two special tailgates. Our Parents Weekend tailgate to greet the parents of our active membership and our Homecoming Tailgate where we welcome back our Alumni.

Trojan Knights and their dates get ready to jump on a boat and have a good time at Tiki Cruise.

The Knights host multiple invites throughout the year. Knights bring dates for memorable nights including dance parties, karaoke, and a special event called Tiki Cruise.

Tiki Cruise is our annual end of the year invite in the Spring. All active Knights and even some alumni come out in their best tiki attire for a night of dinner and dancing on a harbor cruise.
