You DO need to make time to be an active member. Your active (key word here) involvement with the fraternity doesn't stop once you're initiated. You're saying more extracurriculars spring quarter? First see if you can balance school+a fraternity.
IFC recruitment at UCSB is pretty laidback (especially during winter--not all houses will participate), and most guys don't necessarily visit each house. It shouldn't be that big of a deal not to attend the event with the speeches. Keep in mind that every house may not be participating for winter, not even all of your 6 top choices. Check it out, but if you don't find your spot, usually all (or almost all) of the fraternities hold spring recruitment.
To the poster who thought the OP meant next fall, I think he means winter. UCSB is on a 3-quarter system and some of our fraternities do recruit all three quarters.
