You're pledging right now, and that is a busier than usual time. Your non Greek friends should understand that, the same way as they would expect you to understand it if they were taking a really heavy semester creditwise, or had a job at a florist and worked every single extra hour around Valentine's Day.
Just tell them "I know it's crazy now, but once pledging's over, I'll have some extra time and we'll catch up." If they don't understand that, or don't want to understand that, you don't need them as friends.
And yeah - you are new to the fraternity, I wouldn't try meshing the two right now. Wait till you've been a brother a little longer and know the other brothers a little better - you'll probably start realizing things like "Brother Brad would get along really well w/ GDI Greg since they both love skiing."
