This can be SUCH a good way to get involved. We had a girl who pledged a couple years after I did who was so shy as soon as recruitment ended. We were so confused because she had been so outgoing in rush. She literally did not have a single friend in the house and I always felt bad for her because she was always struggling to find a group to go out with before invites, a table to sit at dinners, etc. I am not exaggerating when I say that she had no connections even within her own pledge class, but everybody thought she was nice (no animosity towards her).
It wasn't until late in her sophomore year (my senior year) when she decided to work on a dance for a fraternity philanthropy...she was a very good dancer. Literally after only working on this dance for a week she had befriended every single other sister in the dance. This was great because it was a whole range of girls in terms of class, friend groups etc. Now she loves the sorority and always has a good friend at every event and never feels out of place. It's incredible that one simple week changed the entire experience for her.
