You have to
want to be more active in your chapter and feel close to your sisters. Go to events. Invite your non-Greek friends to events where guests are appropriate, like crush parties, philanthropy events, Greek Week events, etc. to show them that you don't have to "choose" between them and your sisters. Talk to 2-3 sisters you don't know well each week. Hang out with them, not necessarily at sorority events, just like lunch, ice cream, movies, shopping, stuff that friends do. Friendship is a 2 way street, but usually when someone extends a hand, the other party will respond well.
ETA: Do you have a little, btw? You mentioned that your chapter has nearly doubled in size since you joined, so do you feel like the character has changed? If you do have a little, do you connect with her? She might be your "bridge" to the younger members.
ETA again: I think that another good way to get re-involved would be to hang out with some of the new members. If there's any drama or hard feelings about you being MIA with the older members, the younger members won't know that, and will likely be receptive to your attention.
