I think people have this crazy idea that just because you're now in the same pledge class you're going to be instant best friends -- insta-friend, just add pledge pin! Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. It probably took me an entire semester to really get to know the girls in my pledge class. Some people are slower to make friends than others are, and there's nothing wrong with that. But like everyone has said, you have to make the effort: go hang out at the house, invite some girls to hang out with you, and put in the time necessary to really get to know people. Odds are that you're not the only girl that came through spring COB; what about reaching out to some of those girls? I'd be willing to bet that at least one other person is feeling the same way you are. In this generation it's becoming more and more normal to think that everyone is doing better and getting along with the rest of the PC than you are. Chances are, that's not true.
One more thing -- stay off facebook, or at least remember that the way people are seen on facebook is the way they WANT to be seen. Only the best pictures are tagged, only the "fun" things are included in status updates, etc, and it's natural to think that everyone's life is better/easier/more fun than yours, when that's probably not the case.
Keep your head up; these things take time.
