Here is how I do it.
For the social scene:
keep in contact with everyone, just try to keep tabs on everything thats going on, make the rounds, smile, be friends with people regardless of orginizations
Time management:
That stuff is a lot harder than you people seem to realize. The only thing I've learned about it is basically be where you need to be. Its okay to just get up and leave a meeting, especailly when they degenerate and no work is being done.
As far as being in a service glo, intramural team, etc. I just don't get the point. Join a regular fraternity/sorority and that will give you everything you need. Theta Chi, my chapter, did more total community service hours than APO...again. Socail orginizations should be that...teach us to be ladies and gentlemen in any given social situation. And really, would you want to do community service, etc with people that didn't behave like ladies and gentlemen? I wouldn't.
As far as other interests like fencing club, campus media, etc. Don't be afraid to join other clubs, but use them for what they are, they exist solely for the purpose of fencing, etc. But you make friends there and get them to join your chapter. I'm a Theta Chi no matter what, but that doesn't mean I don't talk to other people. Really, the only reason I bother talking to anyone is because I feel motivated to do so. This is getting long so I'll post again later.
