Gathering/Party

[hexxeh]

Ok i'm a student @ university and tomorrow night there's going to be a gathering/party done by an organization which i'm a member at in university. So everyone there I've never met, however almost everyone there knows each other one way or another, basically because i'm new to the organization. Now obviously if they're sitting in groups (which is most likely), not necesarily girls, probably boys and girls, I'd feel very uncomfortable just coming out of no where and not knowing what to do.

few questions:

1. Any ideas on how I should tackle a group, i.e. how would I go about introducing myself, (e.g. hi my name is X bla bla) or do i just jump in a convo, or what?
2. I need a quick ice breaker (not necessarily an opener) so everyone around me would feel comfortable, any ideas?
3. Any good openers, tried searching this site, couldnt find many and I can't recall many of the ones used in reality show "Pick up artist". Besides, would the openers used in the club be as effective in such a gathering.
4. Last but no least, any ideas or tips or anything I should be aware of for the gathernig.

Thanks.

At college everyone is there to make friends...most people are shy to go up to people and start a conversation...so be the guy that everyone looks up too.
Go in there with a smile, feel confident and be yourself.

Don't walk up to people and awkwardly say Hi im Joe.

Feel the adrenaline pumping and say something like "wow this party is awesome, whos throwing it?

or use openers like debates you are having with your friends....

go to the main page and click under style or mystery and it gives you openers

But just be friendly have a smile, ask people what they are studying, relate to the major.

I think if you be yourself, act confident, be friendly and open sets, you'll be the hit of the party. Go to the home page of this site and there is some useful information under Style and Mystery. Good Luck!

You can't plan for things like that. Just get your material and routines ready, your game tight and have a good time. College parties are always unpredictable anyway. I can't tell you how many times me and my group went out to crash parties I have no idea who was throwing during my 1st year. Good times!
