[quote=Anonymous]They will have to join clubs and be active in them. People will not walk up to them and say "hi want to be friends?"

My DS is shy and had never been to a party before HS - took focused on being a good student and his girlfriend. He met a great roommate (still best friends as a fourth year),  but wanted to branch out more so he did decide to rush. I'll never forget when he texted me he sign up to rush right before the midnight deadline, and then two hours later texted to me to say what a waste of money that was because no way would he pledge. I got all these messages in the AM LOL. well he did pledge with his best friend and has had a great experience that he credits with shaping his whole life at UVA. There are greek houses where he can find a good brotherhood without the heavy partying emphasis - tho they do have those as well. He is living in the house now and while it's a challenge LOL (he often says they should pay him to live there), he has gotten even closer with everyone and loved being part of rush.

So there is a counterpoint. Your kid may not like the idea but may change his mind. There are many clubs though which have thriving social scenes, though they will also be focused around drinking somewhat.[/quote]
