Even if you don't end up going Greek, it's going to be good for you. Trust me, recruitment is excellent practice for Real Life, which is full of interviews and "forced" social situations.
If you're ever really stuck for conversation, you can even mention that you're shy, but that you're having fun and feeling welcomed, even though the situation is a little intimidating. I think even the boldest of us consider ourselves "a little shy" in specific situations like recruitment, so most people will sympathize, and it will help them realize you're interested, just feeling a little self-conscious.
Our sorority was by far the most raucous, boisterous one at our campus, and yet we had several very quiet girls, who just enjoyed our energy. At a recent reunion in Las Vegas, one of the most quiet, Kris, ones mentioned another of the shyer girls, saying "I never understood why Jane was an ASA - she hardly fit the mold." The entire table just sat there stunned! But Kris had been a happy ASA for 4 years of college, and had as much fun at the reunion as anyone, so she felt that SHE fit in, which was really all that mattered.
