I remember there was a girl on my dorm floor (all girls dorm with a BIG percentage going through rush) who was very strange. She couldn't be nicer, but she was one of those girls who felt like she needed to do weird things to get attention. At that time there were 5 (out of 15) chapters that were struggling for numbers so for her to get cut out of rush meant she REALLY made a bad impression. My brother used to use a phrase on his son as a boy - turn up the cool. She would have benefited greatly from that advice.

I'm noticing the OP deleted her post. But building on this, how can that girl (I of course don't know if the OP is that girl) learn the social skills to do better, not just in rush but in real life? We all have known people like this and they so badly want to fit in. What can they do?
