I'm starting my summer analyst stint next week and starting to have second thoughts on working in IB. I'm really nervous about the hours, personalities, and that it might not be the right fit. Any advice on making it through the summer?

You can do anything for a few months. Go in with an open mind - you might like your group and/or the work and decide it's not so bad. Worst case, you decide not to do it FT and have a very prestigious internship to put on the resume as you pivot to somewhere else.
Congrats on landing the SA gig. It sounds like this will be perfect for you, you'll be able to feel out if IB is a good fit for your career.
Good luck.
