Fighting On... Forever!
From the front row of the student section in the Galen Center to being on the field with Traveler Crew in the Coliseum, the Helenes support Trojan Athletics in any way we can. Outside of attending games, we also face paint at basketball games and spend time with other Helenes making USC spirited crafts like flower crowns and bracelets. We love supporting our athletic teams and rooting them to victory!

A message from our
Director of Athletics
Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa Romero, and I'm thrilled to serve as the 2026 Director of Athletics for the USC Helenes.
As one of our four core pillars, spirit has been fostered at USC by Helenes since our founding in 1921. As Director of Athletics, I aim to continue cultivating a welcoming and supportive environment at events integral to the school and our organization. By helping Helenes find their love for USC through chants and cheers that made me fall in love with this school and organization, I hope to spread my love for the Trojan Family into every aspect of my platform.
During each semester, we make sure to engage with our community in meaningful ways. One of our most beloved spirit traditions in the Fall includes arriving at football games before gates open, cheering as loud as we can from the front rows of the Coliseum, dancing with the Trojan Marching Band, and losing our voices throughout the process. We are also incredibly proud to guard our beloved Hecuba statue in the village during Rivalry Week in November (boo *CLA). In the Spring, we attend the basketball games at the Galen Center, where we love supporting our nationally ranked women's and men's teams. We are the official hosts of the Swim with Mike fundraiser, which takes place in April and provides scholarships to physically challenged athletes. Throughout the year, we try to attend one sporting event for each USC sports team to show our appreciation for all of our Trojan athletes. You can spot us at events in our personalized USC jerseys in the front row, decked out with face glitter and foam fingers.
No organization at USC bleeds cardinal and gold quite as intensely as the Helenes. As the official hosts of USC, there is no honor more exciting than fiercely supporting our athletic department, preserving cherished traditions, and helping to develop new ones. For any event you would like to see the Helenes support, please feel free to reach out and contact me. Fight On!
Helenes love and all of mine,
Alyssa Romero (she/they)

A message from our
Director of University Affairs
Hello everyone! My name is Jazmine Wilson Bigornia, and I am so excited to serve as the 2026 Director of University Affairs for Helenes. As the liaison between Helenes, USC, and student-run events, I strive to uphold a campus environment where everyone feels accepted and supported. The Trojan family is one of the main aspects that make USC so special, and Helenes aims to contribute to this wonderful and unique community!
Helenes is proud to work with various departments at USC, including the Office of Cultural Relations, University Events, the USC Libraries, the Career Center, and many others. We have upheld our role as the official hosts of the University of Southern California for over a hundred years. Some of our past programming has included the Scripter Awards, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the Career Fair, and so much more. We always look forward to continuing past partnerships we’ve built and bridging new ones! Helenes also recognize the contributions many others have put into making the campus environment as special as it is, such as our Trojan Marching Band, the fantastic hospitality workers, and all the student organizations that help create a safe space for every student. There is nothing better than supporting and working with these amazing communities through our deep connections on and around campus. We always aim to spread Helenes love to everyone!
The Helenes recognize what a privilege it is to represent this university, and we deeply appreciate any opportunities to assist and give back to our campus and the greater Los Angeles community. We always aim to show our campus and surrounding communities our deep commitment to serving and supporting them in any way we can. If you are interested in having the USC Helenes at an event, please do not hesitate to contact me. Fight on!
Helenes love and all of mine,
