Joining A Society Alone?

Hi,

I was wondering, when people start University, do they join Societies alone or do they bring their friends along too. I'm interested in joining the LGBT society when i'm at University but i'll be worried about signing up on my own and then going to meetings/events alone when people may have friends. I'm not sure about 'coming out' to my Uni Friends as they may think less of me.

Do people join societys on their own?

Sometimes, especially during freshers' week, it's best to step out on your own and do what's right for you, like joining a society that (for whatever reason) doesn't appeal to the group of people that you've taken to hanging out with.

I'm really glad I joined something on my own because it allowed me to meet a load of people I never would have encountered otherwise :smile:

I'm not at uni yet but people have told me that if you sign up for these sociaties asap it's going to be better as most of the people there are going to be in the same boat so just talk to people and it should help you make friends.
