This is part of your recruitment and new member training. You all should be women with personality, scholarship, and good deeds before membership and membership should simply enhance that.
After you've got that squared away, find ways to get the ladies involved in other campus organizations and activities, including social events for other organizations. If it isn't a crime on your campus, since it apparently is on some, have a letters day where you all wear letters around campus. You can also wear your business attire and pins (if you have pins) to a campus location before or after chapter meetings whenever you have them. People will care more about your sorority if they see that you all are everywhere. Then that opens the door for mixers and having tables during Greek Week or to advertise your philanthropy.
You will basically need to mimick what the other sororities do but make their practices your OWN. Do what they do but do it slightly differently and better, if possible. Don't be a carbon copy because you all want to show that you all aren't the same as the rest and have something unique to offer.

This is excellent advice.
