I was in a fraternity in college and definitely one of the geekier members. I felt it really helped my interpersonal skills a lot, and I made a lot of really great friends in the process. The best advice I can give is not to worry about catching up socially or feeling comfortable with large groups right off the bat--these things won't necessarily come quickly or naturally. I would suggest figuring out who in the fraternity you get along with and work on forming friendships with those individuals. Just try to make friends with the people you like and the rest should follow naturally. That said, if there is no one in the fraternity you would like to be friends with, then you probably should consider other social options.
