Does your campus have deferred recruitment or can you rush Freshmen in the Fall?
Keep in mind that you can't afford to burn any bridges as far as recruitment and friendship goes. If you make friends with a guy, and he doesn't join your chapter, that doesn't mean you should stop being friends with him. If he didn't join any chapters there's a possibility he'll want to check it out later, and if he did join another chapter that's an important relationship, too, because you never know when you may need to fall back on your fellow Greeks for help.
I don't know the nature of your campus, but a lot of times fraternity men are willing to join up on some things, and help each other out. The TKEs and APDs on my campus did homecoming together one year, instead of joining up with sororities.
I agree, maybe you should talk to the 45% that are mad that you're not doing anything. Ask them if they want to hold a position in order to make sure you guys do the things that they want to do. Explain the importance of Fundraising to them. Maybe instead of a Fundraising Chair, you could set up a Fundraising committee so that the job doesn't seem so out of control or difficult.
