That's definitely going to make getting numbers very, very difficult. But see, with the other leaders who organize Greek Week and stuff, if you can hold some more "open" events to non-Greeks so that they can see if they would enjoy being Greek. That'd increase visibility and hopefully interest. Make it worthwhile for these students to not go home every weekend.
We often have concerts with our philanthropies, everyone can attend--sometimes with the purchase of a ticket, sometimes not. Try a Hawaiian BBQ, we host a BBQ in the quad to generate freshmen interest in IFC, and in your case, who doesn't love Hawaiian food!? We have booths set up for each fraternity, with these information cards of our rush events and who we are.
There are very many ways, and the other repliers are on point. Be visible, but be respectable. Interest in IFC will follow. This may take time, Greek life may be more popular only after you graduate, so enjoy the brotherhood you have, although I admire your desire to do better.
