Does any one have any ideas of how to get people to join at a commuter school? Or perhaps just a rush event on campus that will attract people to come later in the day to check us out?

Getting members shouldn't be much different with or without a house.
It's still basically the same concept, and unless your school has big houses which sleep 10/20+, what's the big deal with a house anyhow? A house takes a HUGE bite out of your budget. Now everything can go to brotherhood.
You may want to partner up with your alumni and start diverting money to a house fund. It shouldn't be hard to find 10/20% to move into that fund. Couple that with alumni fundraising and you'll be in a great position several years from now.
