Thanks for the advice!
It actually went pretty well at the house the other day. The NM Coordinator sat down with me and 3 of the other new girls, and went over some chapter information. Then we all sat and chatted for a while, and a few of the older girls would come and introduce themselves and chat for a little while too.
So I guess right now I'm more just meeting some different girls and learning names than actually getting to know them, but it's nice because everyone is welcoming and friendly.
