making friends first semester
by: new memberI love my sorority but I’m having trouble making like real friendships past surface level, especially with guys because it seems like all that people want to do is get drunk. I’m all for that, but I feel like I have no real friends here. is it just me or are other people having similar feelings too/is this normal first semester?

Four people at school you can count as close, real friends? That’s good. That’s all you really need. Plus maybe some friends to have fun with on top of that

Yeah my freshmen year I made amazing friends but all we did was party. Which was what I was into so I didn’t care. People calm down though and once we started going out less they were still great friends

Its also a really weird time to be a first year in college because there's less chances than usual to meet people (if that makes sense). With that in mind really push yourself to talk to anyone and everyone when presented with the chance. Freshmen year is the year everyone wants to meet people so I don't think it'll come across as weird even this far into the semester.

If it makes you feel better I’m the opposite and I wish I had more friends at home. When we graduate all of us are going to different places, and I won’t have that solid group anymore. At least if I had more close friends at home then I would have friends to go back to who are staying in the same place. Grass is always greener

Its not so hard to develop non-drinking events to bond over. Always have something you are “going to go do after this”(especially effective after boring meetings) and invite someone you hope to know better to go with you. Ex: I’m going to get food, a walk, the gym, you want to go? Keep asking, keep planning stuff to do after. The more casual stuff you do with people, together, the better chance you have to talk one-to-one and get to know each other.

4 friends is actually good. I am sr and really only count 3 of my sorority sisters actually best friends. The rest are go out friends, etc who I love... Freshman year is wading through the people until you find your group.
