Kudos to you for wanting to try new things and seeing college as a fresh start! As someone who was a major over-committer in high school, being overly involved doesn't help anyone. You end up stressed out with tons of people you know, but fewer friends. Then you are burnt out and no better than when you started! I would focus on one group that meets your particular needs, which seem to be academic pursuits, community service, and sisterhood. An *existing* service group or GLO could meet these. Through one group, you can get leadership experience and end up meeting people in other groups as well. You don't have to cram every hope and dream into the next four years - enjoy the fun of college and start small! Good luck!
