If you're looking for a way to distinguish your group and you keep bringing up changing people's mindset or the image of greeks on campus, why not really focus on and start up some campus-wide and -involved service projects?
Do a "green" push and spearhead some new recycling efforts. Do a clothes drive for the Salvation Army or a local shelter. Have a "campus clean up" day where you spread out around campus in letters and clean up trash or volunteer to beautify some gardens or something of the sort. Anything that gets you out in touch with the whole campus and identifies you and your greek letters as a group that "does" something. As you're in classes in the fall, have your members talk to their classmates about that week's or month's service project, invite them to help if they like, post flyers (ABOUT YOUR SERVICE PROJECT, NOT RUSHING) around campus, in the Starbucks on any 'community boards' you can find, etc. Associate your letters with the impression that you are an involved, campus- and community-oriented group and that may bring out more people who naturally gravitate to being part of something that's more than the negative greek stereotype.
