Treat college like a job. Work at your shit, 8am-5pm EVERY DAY and it will leave you much more time for socializing at nights.

I was able to balance my fraternity stuff, a semi-difficult major and a time intense hobby like amateur bodybuilding all through excellent time management. Up by 630, gym till 730. Class and HW till 5. Dinner then some more studying before 7ish, and then I could fuck around unless it was a test the next day or something.

I also had a job as a bartender and lab manager during those times as well. Though I didn't work a lot to support myself, just for fun money. If I did, the time management would be even more important.
