A sorority cannot transform an unpopular person into an instantly popular one, nor can it turn an introvert into an extrovert. A sorority can give someone the tools and the opportunities to change...it is up to the person to do so.

You say that you joined in the spring. Did you make friends with anyone fall semester? If so, have you kept in touch with them? Did you connect with any of your pledge sisters?

When your sisters tease you about your behavior at your semi-formal, how do you react? Do you laugh along with them and say something to the effect of "Yeah, I certainly got a little out of hand. Glad that's behind me!", or do you get all bent out of shape? I suspect that if you had a witty response that was a bit self-deprecating, that might be the end of that.

As pingyang suggests, take the initiative and try to make a few friends in the chapter. Start out with just a couple of the girls, ask then to go out for a coffee or frozen yogurt and make an effort to talk to them. Choose some girls that you think would go. Rush them, just as you would a PNM. You are going to have to put yourself out there, but it is not going to happen if you don't make the effort.
