Success in recruiting but feeling lost socially

Just finished up sophomore year at a semi target. Ended up getting a 2025 SA offer at a top EB that I am super excited about. However, after getting this offer, it has really hit me how bad my social life is at college. My school has a heavy Greek life presence and I’m not in a frat which makes finding people to go out with difficult. Just feels like everyone I hang out with I don’t truly enjoy. I think I got in with the wrong people and now it’s really hurting me. I would transfer but not sure if this could hurt my 2025 internship, especially if I transfer to redo sophomore year and find a better friend group. Any thoughts about what to do would be much appreciated

same situation myself to a lesser degree, but then again I guess we're here to make money, not friends. don't transfer, if you can pull off a 2025 sa internship im sure you can manage to make some new friends
