I'm glad you decided to stay and give Phi Sig a chance. It really is a great organization. Give your 100% and plan to run for e-board next year that way you can work to change things around.
We had 4 founding sisters and two new members disafilliate within our first year (4 because the first summer we had no activities together at all). That was really tough on us as a chapter. we are still in contact with the women who did disafilliate and they still support us they just didn't feel the sisterhood. That was our fault because we didn't do anything as a group outside of "phi sig work". This past year we have really worked on building the sisterhood and I think we've done it. As SapphireSpinx said we have activities planned for the summer and there are always some sisters at them and not necessarily the same ones.
We're a commuter campus so we can plan summer activities. For those where everyone goes home for the summer maybe have sisters write postcards out about why they love Phi Sig and have the scribe send them out to other sisters throughout the summer. That way it keeps Phi Sig in their thoughts and reminds them why they joined in the first place.
You might also suggest that a "pass the gavel" session be scheduled. I believe it helped us get on the road to getting things back on track. And if that doesn't work you may need to call your DCP or CO to see if they can come out and talk with the chapter to see what is going on.
