Songfest was one of the oldest and largest university talent shows in the nation. USC campus organizations, primarily Greek
Life, competed in musical and dance numbers to raise funds for the student-run Troy Camp, a charity dedicated to providing
long-term mentorship for students in South Los Angeles. Songfest occurred from 1954 to 2015, then with the occasional programs
in the following years.
