In my sorority, every week we get a buddy who is an initiated member, and we are supposed to meet up with them. It is a nice way to gradually get to know your sisters and see if there is anyone you would want for a big. So far, I have gone to get coffee and to dinner with my buddies. It is a lot of fun, but I have put a list together of things you could do that involves being a little more active.
1. Mini golf.
GiphyMini golf is such a chill activity. You don't need to be athletic at all and, if you're with the right people, it can be a lot of fun. You really can't go wrong with this. It is more fun than dinner because if you struggle with having a conversation, then you can just talk about how bad you're doing.
2. Take a hike.
At my school, there is a park called Lake Claire and they have a trail near it that you can walk on. If you hike with your buddy, it'll be fun because you get to experience something new together.
3. Go bowling.
GiphyThis is kind of like mini golf in the sense that you don't have to be athletic and it's fun to joke around with. I am so bad at bowling, but I always have a great time because I just joke around with my friend at how bad I'm doing.
4. Go shopping.
Do you hate shopping? Yeah, it isn't my favorite thing either. However, if you go with friends then it is so much more fun. Personally, I am not good at picking out what looks good on me so it's nice to go with someone that can help. Not only do you get to spend your money, but you also get to bond with your buddy over a new wardrobe.
5. Go somewhere you both haven't been to before.
GiphyIf you are new to the town, or even if you aren't, go explore. Find something you and your buddy have never done or go somewhere you both haven't been to before. The world is your oyster - explore as much as you can.
6. Go to a school football game together.
GiphyYou are, hopefully, cheering on the same team, so why not do it together? Even if you don't like football, these games are one of the biggest events that bring the community together. Show your love for your school the best way you know how with your new found sisters.
7. Meet up before a sorority event.
GiphyEarlier last week, my sorority went roller skating. Before, my buddy and I met up to eat pizza and go to the event together. It was so nice to go to the event with someone, and being in the car together is actually a great way to bond. Not only can you have random conversations, but you also learn about each other in different ways. For example, you can learn a lot from someone's driving, their road rage, or what kind of music they like to listen to.
