I'm a shy girl...how do I make friends at a frat party?

Question

I was invited to go to a frat party by my roommate & her boyfriend (whom I don't even know very well at all) and I want to know how I should 'make friends' and feel comfortable in an entire room of strangers. I want to network and get to know new people but I'm not sure if this is the right way...especially since the party is far away from my dorm and there's the possibly that I could get stranded by my roommate.

Help!

Thanks!

Answer 4

I used to have a friend in college who was great at this. What he would do is going to the party and when he was introduced to a person he would immediately use their name. So John what is your major (what ever) but he was very good at remembering names. So when someone else would come along he would then introduce the person he just met to the new person he just met. After a while he would be introducing everyone. He'd walk by use their name. Before long he knew everyones name and people suddenly would want to know him simply because everyone though he was this super popular guy. But in the reality he had just met most of these people they just didn't know it.

Answer 6

If your room mate is inviting you somewhere, she is putting an effort into getting to know you. Take a chance, im not saying get wasted off your *** or even to drink for that matter, but you could be missing out on meeting new people or bondind with your room mate every time you say no.

Just have a smile on your face and be welcoming to new things. If you get stranded, politely find your room mate and say hey im thinking of heading back to the dorm do you wanna come and maybe we can have a midnight snack and get to know eachother alittle better?

people arent as scary as they look, just say hi to the first person you see at this party and who knwos what will happen!

Answer 8

i know it may sound bad, but just have a couple drinks to loosen up, but not too many because you don't want to make an idiot out of yourself. but honestly, i probably wouldn't even go if i were you with the possibility of getting stranded.

Answer 11

LOL if its a frat party like I remember the parties at Sigma chi.  You will not make any friends unless you get drunk and have s*x.. ITS A FRAT PARTY.. Not an ice cream social.

Answer 12

get a note of the street name, your dorm room number, and other things that might help you get back. talk to people in frat party, as brief as you like, when had enough, go home, in a taxi providing you have enough cash.

with the note if you are drunk, tell the driver what street and what number, then walk to your dorm room and sleep.

atleast you were there.
