There is plenty of good advice here. When I was in college, we had 2 friends join together. They were both pretty shy and kept to themselves. At meetings and events, they always sat just slightly away from the group. They always attended things, but managed to stay to themselves. Our exec board even tried to meet with them to make sure things were ok and to see what we could do to help them become more comfortable. Nothing helped. They stayed through graduation, but they are not active in alumnae groups. If you asked them about their collegiate days, they will tell you it was miserable and a waste. Don't be those people. Make an effort to get to know other pledge sisters and those around you.
