Actually...a young woman who went through rush last semester at my school has social anxiety disorder. She is a lovely young woman and when going through, when she was asked why she wanted to join a sorority, she answered: "I have social anxiety disorder, and it is hard for me to make friends sometimes because of that. I really want to get out and meet new people and experience new things, and I think that being in a sorority will really help me." It was a GREAT answer...because it helped us to say, "She wasn't talkative because she has social anxiety, not because she isn't interested." I don't think there is any reason why you SHOULDN'T bring it up, especially if asked why you want to join.
The young woman mentioned, by the way, became a new member at our chapter - and we love her! We probably would have cut her if she had NOT told us what was going on, because we would have thought she wasn't interested...but we are so glad we didn't!
