Your situation is identical to mine (although a few years back!). My best friend/roommate got pregnant and decided to move home at the end of the semester, so I moved into my sorority house. I worked during our nm meetings, my big was MIA (and transfered after my first semester), and I was very shy. I moved in knowing almost no one. It wasn't easy at first, but I hung out with the people that seemed the most friendly towards me, and as time went on I established my close knit friends. I just pushed myself to get involved. I attended everything, took positions, volunteered to help with things, and over time I felt more comfortable.
