For starters, definitely read I heart Recruitment! Then, sit down with the women from the other sororities and see what they think, how they plan to go about this situation. If there are four sororities with the same problem, then you can share the burdens and the costs of turning the situation around. If there are no community events available, create them! Find someone who can give an interesting (read: fun) lecture on anything that would be of interest to the others at your school. You can open these up to men and women at first, then start inviting just the women.
In the meantime, work on your own social skills as a group. Make sure you all know how to talk to the proverbial brick wall if you need to do so. Learn how to recruit (the book!). Figure out why joining a sorority enhances your college experience, and use it.
Most of all, get comfortable with this situation! Know that you're going to be taking on a 24/7 project, not just a meeting night problem. Once it's second nature, you're going to be recruiting even when you don't realize it.
Good luck!
