Pardon the venting.

That's why you continue to explore organizations on campus until you find one that fits you. All the things you are talking about--the staying up late and having fun and studying-- those are things to do with college friends, and friendships don't form overnight. Ask any sorority woman and she'll tell you her fellow sisters were not (and are still not) instant BFFs, so don't look at this setback as an omen that you're not going to have that traditional college experience. You will, but you have to put yourself out there and eventually the friendships will fall into place. Community service orgs aside, what else interests you? Is there a student government organization? How about a campus activities board? There's bound to be a Homecoming Committee that needs assistance. Keep going to meetings for various activities on campus. You'll continue to meet people, contribute to campus life, and have fun.
