Student organizations flooded Greene Street Wednesday afternoon as the Student Organization Fair saw more than 105 groups set up in the heat to recruit new members.

The event was attended by students of all years and areas of study. The offering of groups was just as diverse. Interested students learned more about honor societies, charity groups and more.

More uncommon groups like Gamecock Skydiving were also well represented, and the USC Breakdancing Club even had a dance floor set up to entertain passers-by.

Newly formed organizations like the USC chapter of Operation Smile — an organization founded to raise money and awareness for children with facial abnormalities ­— saw its first fair on Wednesday.

"We're brand new for this year, and we're looking for new people to join," said Clifton Veverica, a fourth-year exercise science student and member of Operation Smile.

More well-established groups like USC Roller Hockey Club are also looking for new members.

"If [students] want to stay active and enjoy USC, they need to come out," said Andrew Smilak, a fourth-year accounting student.
