Rushing lonely

[graciegiraffe07]

I am a rising sophomore at a small college with a large greek population. I have social anxiety disorder, and it is very difficult for me to speak to people I am not used to, even if they speak to me first. I am a sweet, nice person, but I am afraid that because of my disorder I sometimes give people the impression that I am stuck up and unfriendly. I know several girls in sororities on my campus from class, dorm, etc. but I am not really friends with any of them. I want more than anything to break through my disorder and make friends. However, I am afraid that some girls that are acquainted with me may have gotten the wrong impression of me. I want to rush in the fall but I am afraid that this will hurt my chances of getting into a sorority and later, thriving in it. When I go through recruitment, should I tell members I talk to one on one that I have SAD, or should I just suck it up and try my best to show them how sweet and fun I really am?
