Thank you so much for the concern and advice, to everyone that's commented so far. I transferred to be closer to home, my old school just was not working in multiple ways - I didn't know anyone, didn't like my classes, didn't party and really never made friends so I always felt alone - plus I was always going home on the weekends. This new school is better for me - I only have classes two days a week and they're pretty easy and I enjoy them, I know tons of people, and my job has me working a max of fifteen hours a week to allow me to focus the most on said studies.
I'm currently taking 12 credits - last year while going through recruitment I took 17, so I've learned my lesson to not stress myself out and take classes I can do well on and put the time into them to get good grades and such.
The few other clubs I'm in don't meet weekly, they're more of a twice a month type thing - joining a sorority would be a weekly (if not daily) commitment I could make - the person that hired me at my job is a alum of Pi Beta Phi and she said my schedule could be adjusted accordingly for events and such, she understands how important greek life is to me (should I find my home).
I'm really happy I'm still looking at my options - Meg has her first event tonight after my classes, so I'll update when I get home from it.

I worry that with a job and keeping your grades up you should just study and acclimate right now anyway. It's tough to keep grades up and work and grades and finding your future career are MUCH more important than anything else you are doing. If your grades and ability to really dive into your college studies to learn and grow and shape your next step are going to take a back seat to any of this other stuff then you shouldn't join anything right now. I am not sure why you transferred but if it was because of anything academic then my unsolicited advice goes double.
