It's not too late to drop a large amount of acid and have a radical shift in your values where this 'mixer' you're worried about will become absolutely fucking irrelevant to your life...
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Easy solution... You have a girlfriend. If you feel uncomfortable socializing with hot women there's your excuse. The sorostitutes are looking for dicks, not friends

Mixers? Is this the mid 1950s? Do you have panty raids?

Some skewed views here... thats okay. The moden fraternity is concerned with building better men. Their are some logical fallacys in the idea of a frat, but thats human nature. If we only acted on logic ww would all think ourselves in circles. If I cant nut up and do this then im not learning and growing. I think the system is doing its job.
2 days til the event. Il post an update sunday morning.
To the people insulting me as a person with nothing to back it up: The fact is I am living an amazing life right now. I have everything ive wanted and my future looks great. My acute social anxiety is just my one weakness. Im sorry youre jealous.

Its a club and its an experience, but it doesn't make you a better man. Thinking that is just retarded.

So you want to take the argument towards a philosophical discussion? Lets not do that here.
Rather than derailing this thread, feel free to pm me.

I'm sorry to hear about your penis. I'm guessing no one was ready to mingle?

This could actually work. you'd be that awesome guy that everyone wants to be friend with .
I dont generally advocate cocaine (in fact I'am strongly against it and try to avoid it all cost). but for that kind of setting , you could pull it off.
(although it's not the best option.)

Im in a fraternity. Not one of the most popular ones and not one of the largest ones. (We have 18 men, largest has 30 someodd). Fraternitys do things called mixers: a sorority and fraternity get together to do an exclusive party.
My frat has a mixer planned this weekend with the hottest (and snobbiest) sorority on campus. Not at all the kind of girls I typically talk to. Not to mention I have a girlfriend.
I have been fearing this event for a week because: A. The girls and guys all have to attend or we are fined by our organization. B. I dont want a bunch of snobby girls forced to hang out with guys that they wouldnt normally party with. C. I fear both awkward situations and talking to hot women. D. Im a pretty attractive (somewhat social) guy but my frat has a stigma of being "the nice, nerdy guys". Not to mention the fact that only 8-10 brothers will be there drinking and actually socializing.
Is me fearing this some sort of diagnosable social anxiety or is it entirely warranted?
Just calm down. Go to the party have a good time, it'll all be okay.

So it went down last night. 20 or so of their girls showed up and a surprising number of our brothers were socializing. I managed to smoke with and talk to a ton of the ladies and the general impression was that they were having a blast.
Also they were ALL hot as fuck
