As others have said... There will most likely be a club/frat that is similar to your major. Join that.

Yes, and Yes. You should definately work on getting the degree. You/your parents/someone is paying for it. Get it and make the most of it. You should also get to know people. Lots of people. The most miserable people I know have very few friends. The happiest that I know have hundreds.

Find both male and female friends. It is much easier to ask a woman/girl out on a date if you have female friends... if you have lots of female friends, you feel comfortable talking with women, and that's one less thing to worry about when asking someone out. Also, women quite often have radically different points of view about topics. It is much easier to be a well balanced individual if everything in your life is fairly balanced. It will also make things much less awkward when you enter the workforce.
I would also suggest two things (since you are asking about social aspects of campus).. 1) Read "Never Eat Alone". 2) Join ToastMasters.
