The frat parties I've been to pretend to be mini-clubs, while the house parties are just people shooting the shit + drinking + listening to music + possibly video games/movie/making out. | ||

There is a lot of social pressure and it is rather damaging on the ego to hide in your dorm room on a friday night, but there's not really much you can do. Given that your posting for help, I really have a feeling you'd feel more socially awkward @ the frat party. Also. At least at my school ( maybe not berkeley ) , cool frats don't let strangers come, and less cool frats make you pay 10$ to go in. I'm sure your school has a asian / afghanistan student association. I think you'll make more friends there. Or if you get to know some frat boys, they'll naturally ask you to go to their rocking ass parties. Just curious , how is the reputation of lambda phi epsilon @ berkeley hes from afghanistan... | ||

i sincerely doubt that in other news, ucb isn't exactly known for its frat parties. By no means feel compelled to go to them, but also understand that a) you can meet a lot of people there, especially girls (unless you go to the creepy frats) and b) that you will probably have contracted mono at some point if you go. | ||

Don't be afraid to also do what Charlie Murphy was saying, especially early in the school year there are way more people in your situation then you think. Just have fun too  dont let the pressure surmount. | ||

CM that sounds like pretty good advice, not much can go wrong and there are plenty of possibilities. OP I'd follow his advice, if you are too shy to come up to a chick and talk to her do it until you are not shy. You don't have to ask her out or anything just talk. Have fun in school man! Let loose a bit and try different things  Just keep your grades up as well is my advice. | ||

Then introduce yourself if the conversation is going well. Obviously, I skipped all the specific details of small talk included in each of the 4 (maybe more possibilities), obviously your not gonna go "hey do you know about this party?" and if she says yes you're not gonna go "OK COOL IM COMING WITH YOU" although, that might actually work as cocky funny. the fact that you're CM is creepy :D | ||

To meet people, it's actually kind of hard for transfer students to meet people. By the time you start, most juniors are already part of their own cliques so you're best off trying to meet other transfer students. Even though people are starting to settle into their own cliques and you don't think you really fit in, just hang out with them. Meeting people through other people is one of the most convenient ways to make friends without being creepy. You may very well never find your clique at school, but that's kind of how reality works. You're a lot more likely just to have individual friends from different cliques than you are to find a truly compatible group to be around (at least at a big school). | ||
