Ok coming from a regional advisor point of view there are a few things that you can do.
One, start using proper risk management procedures when pertaining to your social events and if possible do not serve any alcohol at them. This has a couple of reasons behind it. One: you want people to get to know you not just that your a drinker, Two: this will show that your organization is somewhat responsible enough to limit alcohol from being the focus of greek life. Three: you will be more apt to get people who are non drinkers to come to your function if it is not associated with alcohol.
Two: Recruitment needs to be an all the time thing. People know you from the organization that you are from, start cleaning house as it were and start recruiting the people with the grades and adminstrative connections
Three: Public Relations is everyone's job. Start with community service. Start by having everyone do two hours a week in the community. Wear letters and let everyone know where you go to school. If the school sees you reflecting good on them, they will keep you around for good PR. People see this and if your organization is achieving grades and social events in balance, then more people will be apt to come looking. Work other areas and recruitment together as needed.
If people in other organizations start seeing your organization grow then by all means let them know what you are doing. A good and growing greek system is everyone's dream.
Interfraternally,
Rob
