I would definitely suggest taking the advice you've already been given - get out of your dorm! Or at least out of the room. Most of the friends I met before I joined a sorority I had started talking to all because I went to the lobby of my dorm to study, rather than staying in my room. You'd be surprised the places you can meet people and start a conversation.

And while at first I would suggest trying to "avoid" all that has to do with sororities, eventually, after it doesn't hurt so much, you might try being around the sisters more. While they're running around your hall trying to get ready for a social, walk by, smile, say hi, even try to maybe start a conversation by saying something like, "wow, you girls must have a big event tonight," or whatever. Don't be the creepy girl who seems to be stalking them, but keep it light. Just by being friendly and nice, they may keep you in mind the next time recruitment rolls around again (should you choose to re-rush).

And getting involved in other groups and events on campus will also allow you to meet sorority women. If a good portion of the campus is Greek, a good number of the sisters will be in other clubs and organizations.

Get out there and have fun!
