One of the things my school does every year is contact the elementry schools, and other "children's" organizations, and ask them if they need/want any help with taking care of kids afterschool one day. You go and play with the children, sometimes, with the manpower and materials, can do things such as donate toys and outdoor play areas(play structures, swingsets) The donatino is above the budget of our greek system here. One thing we've done in the past(as a house, for a company picnic) is build a cardboard maze out of boxes for the children.
You can also go to the oppsite end of the spectrum, and spend time with the elderly. Go to an assited living home, retirement comunity, and play bingo, spend time with individual residents, etc. Depending on the size of the greek system you can find multiple places to go, and let people pick which one's they would like to do best. you can also do things such as park cleanups, and whatnot, for the environemntly consious.
