<p>Would you ever show up to a party alone? More specifically I mean a party that you were invited to but you don't actually know any of the ppl there. I'm a sophomore and I never did this before. I am a girl, btw. Yea we're usually more comfortable traveling in packs...</p>
<p>I'm thinking other than making sure I'm safe walking there, I should just pretend to be confident walking in alone and just start talking to random ppl...any thoughts on this?</p>
<p>bring a friend or two. I'm a guy and that's what i'd do.</p>
<p>as a fellow female, i refused to go to a party alone. Try to find some other people who are going and walk there with them, or ask a friend to drop you off and pick you up. It just isnt a good idea to go alone... it also depends on the party. If it is a big frat party, i wouldnt go alone, i mean even stay there alone. if it is a smaller affair with a few friends...then that is different...in any case, dont travel there alone.</p>
<p>Depends what youre looking for. If you're looking for action, going to a huge apartment party alone after everyone's already started drinking is one of your best strategies. If you just want to chat with familiar faces, you probably shouldnt go alone.</p>
<p>Does it make a difference if this is a party hosted by a campus club i recently joined? I feel like I should go and meet the other ppl...but yea I don't have pepper spray. hmmm...</p>
<p>Depends on where it's at. Do you have a chance to talk with anybody else in this club prior to the party? Maybe you could hitch along with them? </p>
<p>I wouldn't go way off campus alone, maybe let somebody on your floor know you're out and when you expect to return. </p>
<p>The other thing, since your a D and I have a D too, bring your own water or soda. Whatch your drinking if that's what you plan to do there, you lack a wingman, so maybe it wouldn't be the best place to down a brew or two. Be aware of your surroundings.</p>
<p>Aside from safety issues traveling there and back, you will be fine if you know how to take care of yourself. A lot of very prissy types will say that you should never go alone, that it looks like you're looking for action, etc., etc., but honestly, people will think whatever they want to think of you. If the party is bad and you don't know anyone, then you can always leave.</p>
<p>^Agreed. Find a safe way there and back...it might be awkward that you don't know anyone at first...but maybe invite a friend or ask to go with someone you know from the club. Still, it sounds like a great way to meet new people if you are the outgoing type. If you feel out of place, feign sickness, leave ;).</p>
<p>CK23 - if this is a school club sponsored party - it could well be a 'get-to-each-other' type of party and many will be arriving alone - you joined a club and have to meet each other at some point - so maybe an intro type of party???</p>
<p>If it is on campus - I would not worry about going alone at all - but if it is not - I would suggest maybe taking a friend with you - safety in numbers.</p>
<p>I would go alone if I was going (I don't party though). Why? If other people were driving with me and got drunk, they'd be a hazard to me even though I am the designated driver.</p>
<p>I heard of a case once where a sober driver was killed due to a guy in the back seat who came up and startled him...the guy was drunk.</p>
<p>If you do drive with idiots, BUY A VOLVO. They are incredibly safe and your chances of death or injury are very slim, if any.</p>
<p>I would recommend for smaller folks or ladies to go in pairs and to both remain sober. There are many more female abductions than male.</p>
<p>If there will be mostly just drinking, then I would probably say no, just because people will do stupid things when drunk. If it's just a get-together, though, then sure.</p>

Very true - Volvos are wonderfully safe. Buy one even if you don't have drunk idiots in your car. :)</p>
<p>If it were me I'd just pregame a little bit before hand and then go by myself since I'd meet a bunch of people there and I think thats probably the point of the party if its a club. Considering you're a girl though it might be a good idea to have a friend tag along, she doesn't have to be in the club. parties are generally for members as well as their friends.</p>
<p>I would not go to a college where I didn't feel safe being alone.</p>
<p>i would go by myself, but I would prefer to go with one or two friends. Pre-gaming is a must.</p>
<p>CK.................Does it make a difference if this is a party hosted by a campus club i recently joined? I feel like I should go and meet the other peopl...but yea I don't have pepper spray. hm..................</p>
<p>Would you go to a CLUB meeting alone?? most likely yes - ooo and make sure that pepper spray is legal to use - some campuses allow it - others - it is illegal to carry</p>
