National organizations have chapters on multiple campuses.
what are methods to get other schools, who have the need for a sorority to join, to know that we exist and contact us for a new chapter.

Adding to knight_shadow's comments, expansion requires networking, so you need to have people who are REALLY outgoing/social and are willing to talk to anyone under the sun. Your members would also be well served to take on leadership roles on campus and attend regional events for the various groups they may be involved with.

My sorority began expanding when we were contacted by women at a school nearby our founding location who were familiar with some members. Now, in our eleventh year, we have Greek Life administrators actually contacting us and inviting us to expand.
