How do I make better frienships with my sisters?

[leighton_g]

My sisters are all sweet and very nice but I don’t actually have friendships with them. I had lost touch with them over summer and I considered dropping out this past fall semester, but I stayed to see the other side of pledging.

I don’t know how this exactly happened, but I feel like I have distanced myself a lot from the other girls. I am no longer close to my pledge class or any of the other girls. I felt like this semester they have grown so close to one another and I wasn’t there to be a part of the fun and I felt left out. After some time, I stopped going to social events and other outings with them.

But, a new semester is coming up and I want to change all of that. I want to make a strong and sincere effort to make things right. I want to build better friendships with them and I want to be close to my sisters. I want to be a better and devoted member; I just don’t know how to go about it. What are some ways I can be the best member and improve my relationships with my sisters? I want to be more outgoing with them and remind all the girls why they chose me in the first place to join their sorority. Sometimes, I feel like it is difficult to be outgoing and to be myself when there are so many other girls who are funny and loud with outgoing personalities. It’s hard to be noticed. Any advice?
