The only 3 girls who joined with me that I DO picture myself being friends with because they are my age, are already super close from high school. What if I'm spending all this money and I never even get close to these girls?
Did anyone ever have this problem? What do you recommend?
 thanks

I'll bite. Joining will not automatically give you 50 best friends. You still have to work at becoming friends with people.
If you see yourself being good friends with 3 girls that are already close, then hang out with them. Do stuff with them. Just because they are close, doesn't mean they won't be your friend as well.
At some point you will get a big- they can help you meet people. Let her know how you are feeling, and they can help introduce you to people.
Make sure you attend everything that you can- socials, philanthropies, even just movie night at the house (if you have one).
Just a quick story from my own experience- I am traveling with my family this weekend to visit one of my best friends. We were in the same sorority, but did not become friends until a year after I was initiated. We started hanging out during spirit week (the week before school returns before rush starts) and have stayed close for the past 15 years. If I had dropped out after a month, I would have missed out on the past 15 years of friendship.
