I can sympathize with the OP. I have a small degree of social anxiety, and getting ready to attend events makes me want to - literally- hide under the covers and read. However, my past experiences tell me that once I get there, I'll run into at least one person I know and begin to talk and enjoy the event. So I force myself to get to the event, and even if it isn't fun (like 33 said, not tea with the Queen) it's not the horrible, dark, demon-filled idea I had pictured in my head, either.
So, OP, go to a fraternity party with your sisters occasionally (maybe strategically choose those fraternities where you might know a member from class, or that you have heard aren't Kappa Tau / Animal House level) and propose other events occasionally.
You will get out of your sorority experience what you put into it, so decide what you want out of the experience, and make it happen! The only absolute you can say about ALL members of your sorority is that they are all members of your sorority- not ALL of them drink, party, study, shop, stay out late, enjoy fraternity parties...... Propose events you enjoy, and those who enjoy them too will show up!!
