How do I power-network?

As a rising sophomore this summer I really want to build a solid network before going into recruiting. I’m from a target with a lot of high level alum across the street, so ideally I want to get to know some of these people well. People who have had a lot of success networking their way through recruitment, what are some of your best tips?
