I'm not in a PHC org and I don't know anything about your org or your school, but in my sorority, we have to do a certain number of socials, a certain number of philanthropies, a certain number of fundraisers, a certain number of cultural/educational programs, a certain number of sisterhood events, etc. One way that we found really effective to get to know other orgs in our council was to do joint philanthropies or joint educational programs. If your sorority also has a minimum number of philanthropies or educational programs you have to do, maybe you can try to sell them on the idea of doing it with another GLO. Tell them they'd be killing two birds with one stone. This isn't going to involve any extra time or effort...it's not like these are additional events that they have to go to but rather they would have had to go to these anyways. Basically, sell them on how this would have tons of benefits and no drawbacks and no additional work other than calling up the philanthropy chair of a fraternity or sorority. And if the fraternities, at this point, don't really want to make time for your sorority in their social calendar, this could be a great way to still get to do something with them (if they're also required to do a certain number of philanthropies or educational programs) and maybe if things go well, they'll see that you're a cool bunch of girls and want to do socials with you in the future.
