Are you transferring schools eventually?

I can relate to the socially inept part. I thought joining a sorority would suddenly just create that college experience for me- an automatic social and philanthropic schedule and tons of new sisters/friends! But like everyone e else has said, it does take work and effort to find your friends in the sorority. Me, I just threw myself at them, I went to basically any event they had for the first 6 months- parties, meetings, dinners, homecoming stuff, volunteer stuff.

As a person who has this social inept-ness thing going on, I can say that residential college life just wasn't for me. I tried it, left...went back and tried again and left again. It's not for everyone. I eventually graduated from a private university in my city by working and attending classes part-time. I do find the "adult" world easier to deal with than the 24/7 forced interactions of residential college life.

I am very close to two of the girls from my sorority- my Big and a pledge sister. Some others, I've grown very close to via Facebook/online over the years. So, you never know. Sometimes people who have nothing in common at one stage of life move on and come together later on in life as friends.
