All the advice so far, make sure you listen to it, especially about going to class. I learned that lesson the hard way, and trust me, you don't want to.
When I went to Maryland, there was a day where every organiztion could place a table out on the mall to recruit new people. If your school has a day, make sure you go. Also, ask around, search the school website, etc., to find organizations you would be interested in. Those can be the best part of school.
I didn't go Greek, but I know guys who did. They will do everything they can to humiliate you while pledging, but once you make it, you have a group of friends to turn to throughout your life in good and bad times.
Basically, if you plan right, you can have a successful educational experiance while managing to have the fun you hear about all the time. Just be careful.
