It would be a good idea to sit back, learn, observe, and get a good idea of how the chapter works and such.
It can be a little hurtful to chapter members if a new member were to come in and start stepping on toes trying to change things and criticizing every little aspect of the chapter.
Example: say you don't like a recruitment event. Remember that a sister spent a great deal of time putting that event together. It would potentially hurt that sister's feelings if you just blurted out "well, that event sucks. We should totally do ______."
Just remember that there is a time and place for everything.

Wise words (as usual
). The only thing you can control (regardless of how much "administrative power" you have) is yourself. If you really want to feel like you're doing something positive for your chapter, become your own one-woman PR campaign. Live each and every day in the way outlined by your sorority's values (you should already be doing this, but it doesn't hurt to mention it again!). While you're being this fabulous picture of what you feel an XYZ woman is...WEAR LETTERS! Granted, this works better at smaller schools, but it's surprising how much influence one person can have over the reputation of a group - both positive and negative.
