It seems that your problem is twofold- you need the sororities to work together, and you need the support of the administration. Have you talked to any of your panhellenic exec members or your panhellenic delegate? They might share your desires to create a more cohesive Greek community. It might be easiest in the beginning to initiate change within your own chapter- invite another chapter to have dinner with you, to do a service project with you, or even just come to your house or suite one week after your chapter meeting for snacks and chitchat. Set a precedent that other chapters will want to follow, and then future endeavors (maybe with all six chapters) will be easier and people will be more excited about it. This is how things started a few years ago on our campus- with a couple of chapters initiating two-sorority events- and now it has become the norm to do service projects, seminars, game nights, etc with other chapters. Starting too big, such as a 6-chapter event, might be too big of a step to start with.
I would also suggest bringing up your concerns about cooperation with the administration at a panhel meeting. You'd be surprised what good can come from opening the lines of communication- especially if the school admin know that you are working towards better cooperation. They can help outline what they want from you, and in turn, what they can do to help you.
