I like what you said though, "who share that passion", now I just need to find a few clubs on campus that are into writing and saving animals. Ha ha.
Good, as we've had people asking before for specific groups,dorms, etc. and that's not a good way to go about things.

Clubs are good, student government if there's something that interests you, religious groups, and so on. On my campus there are lots of Greeks volunteering at the Humane Society, so you'd definitely meet them off campus. If your department holds events, go to those, and anything else that catches your fancy.

Even if you meet no Greeks you'll meet people who may help you in other ways later, such as jobs, internships, and it can also go on your resume. Finding one bigger thing to be involved in is great, and other small things are fun too. We have a volunteer and civic engagement center, intra-murals, study groups for large common classes, and I'm sure your school has a version of these.
