Official Hosts and Guardians of Tradition Since 1921

Trojan Knights is the oldest service and spirit organization at the University of Southern California. We are a diverse, tight-knit brotherhood of scholars, athletes, and leaders from around the world, all committed to guarding Trojan traditions and bettering the community around us. Since our inception 100 years ago, we’ve escorted U.S. presidents to campus, led the student section at football games, created many notable campus traditions, served the local community, and developed future leaders of USC and society. To be a Trojan Knight is to be a Trojan of the highest integrity, service, and commitment to the university.


Our Pillars

The pillars of our organization are brotherhood, service, and spirit. We strive to uphold these pillars through many social, service, and spirit events throughout the year.
