Yes, I was talking about parties.

I was very shy in high school, and I deliberately chose a very social college to help bring me out of my shell. So I speak from personal experience.

Regarding recruitment, I think that dealing with rejection and disappointment is a part of life, and that recruitment is a relatively safe and protected way to learn about that. But knowing your own limits is also a valuable life skill. If a girl knows that she will be emotionally crushed by undergoing possible further rejection, then she would be wise to not subject herself to it.
