It happens for me. I went to TAMU, and when people see my Aggie ring I get a few extra "perks".
Also, as others have said, UT is a huge campus with lots to do. Have you checked into your major's clubs and honor societies? I know an NPC alumna from UT and she said she was more involved in her business greek-letterd org that her NPC chapter.
And, as far as transferring to Rice U., you could do it but realize that undergraads on that campus have formed bonds since their freshman year, which is done through their on campus colleges (dorms). So, you could transfer there and still feel left out because you were not there during your freshman and sophomore years.

Agree with the bold. The residential colleges are almost like GLOs.
To the OP - UT is too big of a school (and Austin is too big of a city, for that matter) for you to not find something to occupy your time during your college years.
