Concentrate on getting the Greek system to work together as a whole rather than worrying about groups pairing off together.

Or if you want to have these events, have a rotating system or set up groups (even if they aren't paired) so there are a similar amount of participants or do things by percentage of members. If group A has 50 members, and group B has 20, doing a 30% of members participate eases the burden of smaller groups and/or colonies. Even consider having groups pair with residence halls or other types of living or student groups because it helps promote greek life to those who aren't members. Not that you can't have private parties (because that's a benefit of membership) but hosting things such as battle of the bands, canned food drives, blood drives, sporting tournaments, and other stuff that the whole campus can enjoy can help you dispel stereotypes.
