Are you registered as a student organization? With a constitution and everything? Then it sounds like you're set. Until you have membership, you will not have income to spend, so I would suggest making some flyers on your computer about interest meetings for a new social sorority on campus. You could meet in one of the dorm lounges or something, that way you are visible. Order pizza or have chips and cookies and something to drink. People will show up for free food. Then have people fill out name, phone, email, major, GPA, etc. so you can get in touch with them. Then have them bring their friends next time. Once you get people to join, then you can discuss dues, which should probably be low until you really start to have operating costs. You don't have to be making silk screened shirts and stuff from the get-go. Start out simple and attract membership through info sessions.
Other things you can do after having info sessions: Watch videos at someone's dorm room or apartment, go to university sports events, work out together, study together. Offer to take students that don't have transportation to the grocery store or to the mall or something. There are all kinds of things you can do! I am now rambling!
The reason I know this is because I am a member of DZ which is strong on our campus, lots of members, been around a long time, etc. After I joined that, I helped start up a music fraternity and I realized that #1: We could not approach things like I did in DZ 'cause we had no money, #2: The number one objective is to get people to show up and find out about your org and convince them that they will have a part in founding something great that will soon be a dominating force on campus (yes, be confident and believe that this will be true...if you start out with that attitude, you will succeed).
I rambled again! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
