The Trojan Knights are an American service and spirit organization associated specifically with the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. The organization is officially dedicated to "Brotherhood, Philanthropy, & Spirit" and its members have been recognized by USC as the "Official Hosts of the University" and "Guardians of Tradition."〔Trojan Knights official website, ("History" )〕 The group has been a part of many university traditions and remains active in on- and off-campus events and causes. While not a traditional Greek fraternity, the Trojan Knights have many characteristics similar to fraternities such as a pledge semester, rush process, and strong brotherhood. The Trojan Knights currently involve themselves in several service events including the USC founded "Swim with Mike," benefiting a scholarship for disabled persons aspiring to attend college, and the annual "Trojan Knights Carnival," a carnival held on Los Angeles's Skid Row benefiting the children of those families. ==History== The Knights were founded in 1921 by USC students Harry Pryor, Harry Kennedy, and Lindley Bothwell. Bothwell is also credited with numerous other contributions to USC's spirit activities including coaching both USCs Song Girls and the now-defunct USC Yell Leaders and, along with fellow founder Harry Pryor, the introduction of organized card stunts at football games in 1922.〔("Harry M. Pryor Obituary." ) Trojan Family Magazine. Summer 2003.〕〔("Lindley Bothwell and the USC Song Girls." )〕〔Edmonston, George P. "Card Stunt King Lindley Bothwell." OSU Alumni Association. ()〕 In the early years, the organization's recruiting process was systematically tied to that of the university's Greek fraternities, and the majority of new members were also members of a Greek-letter fraternity. Emblematic of these early ties is the fact that Lindley Bothwell is also credited with helping to found the USC chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity five years later in 1926, though the national organization ultimately revoked the chapter's charter in 2014 after allegations of both sexual assault and hazing.〔
