[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]toxic and vapid. have her find one real friend who she takes classes with. she'll be better off...[/quote]

If you say so. My DD just called me and told me she has class with 2 of her sorority sisters who she didn't know well at all. This is a sorority of 200+ so no she doesn't know everyone.  They both hunted her down before the class and asked her to sit with them. This is in class of 300+.   My DD is still new to the sorority and loved that these older girls went out of their way to find her and sit with her, since she isn't exactly friends with them (yet). That's what being in a sorority gives you. A large community that can make your school smaller and more intimate per se.  If she had "one real friend" from a class, she'd  be very alone, trust me. My DS had one very best friend freshman year, his roommate. His social world was way too small and depended on that one person. They both joined a fraternity together and now he has a bunch of friends that he would never have known if he hadn't joined. It's actually very beneficial for a more introverted person to join a greek house, because it does bring people to them, rather than them always trying to find and befriend others. [b]Some people are just more shy and need to have a smaller community to try to make friends within, rather than a 10-20K person university. [/b] Shout all you want about "paying for friends" but it works exactly the same if you join a club, an athletic team, whatever.  [/quote]

The ironic part is that rush weeds those people out [/quote]

Yup---because someone who is that shy is likely not a star at 5 minute small talk then move to the next girl type of thing, all while knowing she is being judged on these 5 min sessions.  That's not how most shy people work [/quote]
then look for a house where there are people who are more like you, not the "top houses" filled with "popular girls from HS" types. They do exist you know.[/quote]
