USC's Turning Point chapter has reported a rise in membership following the death of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA.
The new members include both USC students and non-student members, with the organization remaining active through tabling and bringing conservative guest speakers to campus.
Sadie Slusher, a Columbia resident, said she was heartbroken when she learned of Charlie Kirk's death and felt a desire to have her voice heard, leading her to join USC's Turning Point chapter.
Charlie Kirk was killed during an event at Utah Valley University in September, where he had traveled to hold live debates as part of his work with Turning Point USA, which focuses on conservative political activism on college campuses.
USC Turning Point has a sizable social media following, including a 15,000-follower Instagram page, and is active on campus, according to its Garnet Gate page.
