I've found that the most socially well-adjusted geeks are the ones who count being a geek as just another facet of their personality. The geeks who wear their geekhood like a neon sign are the ones you're most likely to recognise as a fellow geek but they're also the most socially awkward. They seem to think being a geek is their Identity and they don't need to do anything else, like learn how to enjoy natural, flowing conversation about real issues where they actually listen to the other person, rather than just throwing out-of-context geeky references into the wind. They also use their geekery like a shield and think that their social awkwardness can't be helped and it's not their fault because they're A Geek.

I'd say, don't go looking for fellow geeks. Have fun getting to know lots of different people because their personalities appeal to you instead. You'll be surprised how, once you get to know them, a lot of them will have at least something in their life they're geeky about, and hopefully you'll find some who are geeky about the same things as you.

One caveat to this: not everyone who is awkward remains awkward forever. Particularly in college - ugly ducklings don't instantly age into swans the second you step into your first dorm room. Assuming that every freshmen geek is just willfully staying that way is a pretty bullshit way to go about your life.
