It snows A LOT so the outdoorsy things are really only good in the fall. But anyway, all people here really do is drink so if you're not into that it's hard. And our reputation is so "dorky" at this point, mainly because my sorority basically only goes to one fraternity house every single weekend, my sisters are like stuck to that house.

I'm thinking I know where you go to school, but of course I can't be sure. If you are where I think you are, I can guarantee there are other things to do at or around school than drink.
And even if I'm wrong about where you are, there has to be something else to do. Bowling has been suggested, and I know that my chapter has done that a few times in the past. It works well, because it gets everyone out and doing something other than playing beirut, those who are over 21 have the option to drink (although in my experience at these types of mixers, people usually don't), and with teams randomly being picked, you get to meet new people.
Or try to play any kind of sport. Hold a tournament of sorts.
And as funny as this might sound, we had a mixer with a fraternity years ago where we played the game Taboo. The guys thought it would be stupid at first, but we played for almost 3 hours and everyone had a lot of fun.
If you want to incorporate drinking into these, then go for it. But if a large number of sisters aren't comfortable with that, don't just give up and say, "Well, I guess we have to drink if we want to hang out with the cool kids." Because if your chapter members aren't the partiers to begin with, throwing them into a mixer where everyone's wasted and doing keg stands isn't going to work.
