You will have plenty of opportunities to make friends and get involved, but NPC sorority membership isn't going to be on that list. As a person who has up and moved several times in her life to places where she knew almost nobody, you're just scared of starting over. You'll get through it. The difference here is instead of meeting friends organically as you do when you're younger, you have to go about building friendships with a bit more purpose.

It is too bad you didn't take advantage of the opportunity you had through Greek life at ASU because a lot of those moves I've made were a lot easier because of my sorority membership, but my life now, for instance, doesn't include sorority involvement at all, except for chatting here on GC. But especially when I was new here I went to "coffees" 3 and 4 times a week with different groups to start to make connections.

Once you're accepted, you can start researching what the school has to offer by way of activities and I would jump in with both feet. As you get yourself established you can start to whittle away the stuff that isn't as much fun or feels too time consuming.
